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.

Suppose the marginal propensity to consume is equal to 0.4. If the government lowers tax rates and tax revenue falls by $50 billion, then disposable income will increase by________ billion and consumption spending will initially increase by ________ billion (before the multiplier effect kicks in).
If the Marginal Propensity to Consume is 0.9, this means that For each $1 increase in income, residents will increase their consumption by 10 cents. For each $2 increase in government purchase, spending in the economy will increase by $9.00. For each $2 increase in income, residents will increase their savings by 90 cents. For each $2 increase in taxes, spending in the economy will decrease by $18.00. For each $2 increase in government purchase, spending in the economy will increase by $16.00.
In economics, the multiplier effect refers to the fact that when there is an injection of money to consumers, the consumers spend a certain percentage of it. That amount recirculates through the economy and adds additional income, which comes back to the consumers and of which they spend the same percentage. This process repeats indefinitely, circulating additional money through the economy. Suppose that in order to stimulate the economy, the government institutes a tax cut of $16 billion. If taxpayers are known to save 7% of any additional money they receive, and to spend 93%, how much total money (T) will be circulated through the economy by that single $16 billion tax cut? (Enter your answer rounded to the nearest whole number.) T≈ billion dollars
A company is growing rapidly, and is investing nearly all of its income, so its marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.85. Remembering that MPC + MPS equals 1, we find out that the MPS is 0.15. What is the spending multiplier in this case?
suppose that the real GDP of a country is in equilibrium at $480 billion. now suppose that planned investment decreases by $4 billion and that this decrease cause real GDP to shift to a new equilibrium level of $470 billion a. what is the spending multiplier for this country? b. what is the marginal propensity to save(mps) for this country?
Q1. Suppose MPC is 0.8. If government purchases increases by $10c and cuts taxes by $503, how much the equilibrium output is changed? a=6 and B=5
Assume that MPC=0.9 and t=.2. The gov. expenditure multiplier is about 3.5 10 2.5 More info is needed.
Suppose there is some 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 Suppose the government in this economy decides to increase government purchases by $400 billion. The increase in government spending will lead to an increase in income, creating an initial change in consumption equal to This increases income yet again, leading to a second change in consumption equal to The total change in demand resulting from the initial change in government spending is I The following graph shows the aggregate demand curve (AD₁) for this economy before the change in government spending. and the spending multiplier for this economy is Use the green line (triangle symbol) to plot the new aggregate demand curve (AD2) after the multiplier effect takes place. For simplicity, assume that there is no "crowding out." 140 Hint: Be sure that the new aggregate demand curve…
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).
The following table shows consumption (C), investment spending (I), and government purchases (G), for some hypothetical economy at several levels of income (reported in billions of dollars of real GDP). Assume that in this economy, income is taxed at a rate of 25%, base consumption is $50 billion, and that the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.667, or 2/3. Further assume that this economy is closed, that is, there is no international trade and so net exports are always equal to zero. Use the given information to fill in disposable income, consumption, and planned expenditures in the following table. Income: Real GDP Disposable (After Tax) Income C Ip G Planned Expenditures (Billions of dollars) (Billions of dollars) (Billions of dollars) (Billions of dollars) (Billions of dollars) (Billions of dollars) 0 0 50 100 50 100 100 50 200 100 50 300 100 50 400 100 50 500 100 50…
