Consider a hypothetical closed economy in which households spend $0.80 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.20. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is 0.8, and the spending multiplier for this economy is 5 Suppose the government in this economy decides to increase government purchases by $400 billion. The increase in government purchases will lead to an increase in income, generating an initial change in consumption equal to $320 billion. This increases income yet again, causing a second change in consumption equal to $256 billion The total change in demand resulting from the initial change in government spending is $2 trillion ($2,000 billion) The following graph shows the aggregate demand curve (AD,) for this economy before the change in government spending. Use the green line (triangle symbol) to plot the new aggregate demand curve (AD) after the spending multiplier effect takes place. Hint: Be sure that the new aggregate demand curve (AD₂) is parallel to the initial aggregate demand curve (AD). You can see the slope of AD, by selecting it on the graph.

Suppose in a simple Keynesian economy, planned consumption function is given by C=250+0.65(Y-T). Planned investment, government purchases, taxes are $100 million, $100 million and $150 million respectively. What is MPC, MPS and autonomous consumption Derive the saving function. What is the equilibrium level of income? Y= AD=C+I+G If government purchases increase to $150 million, what is the new equilibrium level of income? What level of government purchases is needed to achieve an income of $2000 million? From question (5) you get the newly government purchase. Now find out the multiplier value What is the amount of shift in AD curve? [Use the multiplier value from (5)] ** Need the answer of question 7 only **

Initially, the economy is producing $13 trillion in goods and services and the government is spending $2 trillion.Then the government decides to increase its spending to $2.7 trillion. a) What is the value of the spending multiplier? b) Compute the new equilibrium level of output. Assume that the marginal propensity to consume is 0.7 (MPC=0.7).
Consider an economy in which the marginal propensity to consume is 0.8 and GDP is currently at 12,000. a) The government wishes to increase GDP to 13,000, and it is considering changing only one of its fiscal tools: 1. government purchases 2. taxes 3. transfer payments How much would the government have to change each of these fiscal policy tools to achieve its goal? (Use the simple spending multiplier for this part and below.) b) Suppose instead that the government wishes to reduce GDP to 10,000, and again, it is considering using only one of its three available fiscal policy tools. How much would it change each of these fiscal tools to achieve its goal?
