Consider a hypothetical economy in which households spend $0.50 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.50. The following graph shows the economy's initial aggregate demand curve (AD1). Suppose the government increases its purchases by $2 billion. Use the green line (triangle symbol) on the following graph to show the aggregate demand curve ( AD2) after the multiplier effect takes place. Hint: Be sure the new aggregate demand curve (AD2) is parallel to AD₁. You can see the slope of AD1 by selecting it on the following graph.

The following graph plots an aggregate demand curve. Using the graph, shift the aggregate demand curve to depict the impact that a tax hike has on the economy. Suppose the governments of two very similar economies, economy N and economy M, implement a tax cut of equal size. The tax cut in economy N is permanent, while the tax cut in economy M is temporary. The economies are otherwise completely identical. The tax cut will have a larger impact on aggregate demand in the economy with the (temporary tax cut/permanent tax cut) .
Illustrate how changes in investment (or other components of total spending) can increase or decrease real GDP by the multiplier effect.
Which of the following is a true statement about the multiplier? The multiplier rises as the MPC rises. The smaller the MPC, the larger the multiplier. The multiplier is a value between zero and one. The multiplier effect does not occur when autonomous expenditure decreases.
Complete the statements and then calculate the change in consumption. The consumption function shows the relationship between consumption spending and The slope of the consumption function is the Changes in consumption can be predicted by multiplying the change in by the If the MPC = 0.80 and disposable income increases by $1000, then consumption will increase by what amount? Assume that there is no multiplier effect.
Give an example of any factor that influence the size of the multiplier
What is the negative effect if multiplier increases?
There might be many factors (economic and non-economic) that affect the size of the multiplier. What are some that you think could influence its size? Which ones do you think would make it larger, and which are more likely to make it smaller?
1. Graphing the consumption function from the MPC Consider a hypothetical economy in which the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.50. That is, if disposable income increases by $1, consumption increases by 50¢. Suppose further that last year disposable income in the economy was $450 billion and consumption was $350 billion. On the following graph, use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot this economy's consumption function based on these data. CONSUMPTION (Billions of dollars) 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 -100 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 DISPOSABLE INCOME (Billions of dollars) 700 800 (?) From the preceding data, you know that the level of saving in the economy last year was $ economy is billion and the marginal propensity to save in this Suppose that this year, disposable income is projected to be $550 billion. Based on your analysis, you would expect consumption to be S billion and saving to be $ billion.
We know the following about a closed economy: (Y-T), • Consumption: C = 20 + 0.7 • Investment: I = 4c Government expenditures: G= 30 • Taxes: T = 0.2Y When the government increases its expenditures without changing the way it collects taxes, there is a multiplier effect. What is the value of the multiplier? Select one (two digits after the decimal): a. 2.33 b. 2.50 c. 3.33 d. 4.00
Suppose there is some hypothetical economy in which households spend $0.50 of each additional dollar they earn and save the $0.50 they have left over. The following graph plots the economy's initial aggregate demand curve (AD₁). Suppose now that the government increases its purchases by $3.5 billion. Use the green line (triangle symbol) on the following graph to show the aggregate demand curve (AD2) after the multiplier effect takes place. Hint: Be sure the new aggregate demand curve (AD2) is parallel to AD₁. You can see the slope of AD₁ by selecting it on the following graph.

Suppose that the initial 10 billion increase in the investment spending expands GDP by 10 billion in the first round of multiplier process. If GDP and consumption both rise by 6 billion in the second round of the process, what is the MPC in this economy? What is the size of the multiplier? If instead, GP and consumption both Rose by 8 billion in the second round, what would’ve been the size of the multiplier?
