Economics 1. Graphing the consumption function from the MPC Consider a hypothetical economy in which the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.75. That is, if disposable income increases by $1, consumption increases by 75c. Suppose further that last year disposable income in the economy was $500 billion and consumption was $400 billion. On the following graph, use the blue line (aircle symbol) to plot this economy's consumption function based on these data. (?) 700 600 300 -100 400 500 600 700 100 200 300 DISPOSABLE INCOME (Blions of dotans) From the preceding data, you know that the level of savings in the economy last vear was s billion and the marginal propensity to save in this economy is Suppose that this year, disposable income is projected to be $700 billion. Based on your analysis, you would expect consumption to be S billion and savings to be S billion, CONSUMPTION (Bilions of dolars)
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
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.
True or False? Explain: The multiplier effect is likely to be greatest when the government spending is targeted at the poorest The poor will always spend most of the money they get as benefits as soon as possible Multiplier effect does not depend on who receives the money The richest people will spend a larger proportion of their money than the poorest
On the following graph illustrate the impact of a sudden decline in consumer confidence that reduces autonomous consumption by $50 billion. Assume MPC = 0.8.(a) What is the new equilibrium level of real output? (Don't forget the multiplier.)(b) How large is the real GDP gap?(c) What has happened to average prices?
Suppose an economy is represented by the following equations. Consumption function C = 300 + 0.8Yd Planned investment I = 400 Government spending G = 500 Exports EX = 200 Imports IM = 0.1Yd Autonomous Taxes T = 500 Marginal Tax Rate t=0.25 Planned aggregate expenditure AE = C + I + G + (EX - IM) By using the above information calculate the equilibrium level of income for this economy and explain how multiplier changes when we have an open economy
Consider two closed economies that are identical except for their marginal propensity to consume (MPC). Each economy is currently in equilibrium with real GDP and total expenditure equal to $100 billion, as shown by the black points on the following two graphs. Neither economy has taxes that change with income. The grey lines show the 45-degree line on each graph. The first economy's MPC is 0.5. Therefore, its initial total expenditure line has a slope of 0.5 and passes through the point (100, 100). The second economy's MPC is 0.70. Therefore, its initial total expenditure line has a slope of 0.70 and passes through the point (100, 100). Now, suppose there is an increase of $30 billion in investment in each economy. Place a green line (triangle symbol) on each of the previous graphs to indicate the new total expenditure line for each economy. Then place a black point (plus symbol) on each graph showing the new level of equilibrium output.
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 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…
The multiplier effect of a change in government purchases 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 (0.2 or 0.8 or 1 or 1.25 or 5), and the spending multiplier for this economy is (0.2 or 0.8 or 1 or 1.25 or 5). 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 (320 billion or 2000 billion or 1000 billion or 80 billion or 160 billion). This increases income yet again, leading to a second change in consumption equal to (160 billion or 80 billion or 1000 billion or 2000 billion or 256 billion). The total change in demand resulting from the initial change in government spending is (2 trillion or 0.8 trillion or 1.6 trillion or 3.2 trillion).
Using the table below to answer the following questions. Assume all values represent trillions of dollars. Construct a graph of the Aggregate planned expenditure What is the equilibrium expenditure? Explain what happens at a real GDP of $4 trillion dollars. (Note the aggregate expenditures and the effects on inventories) What are your total autonomous expenditures? What is the marginal propensity to consume? Ignoring imports and income taxes, what is the multiplier? If investment increases by $1.5 trillion, what is the change in real GDP?
The multiplier effect of a change in government purchases Suppose there is some hypothetical closed economy in which households spend $0.75 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.25. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is (0.25 or 0.75 or 1 or 1.33 or 4), and the spending multiplier for this economy is (0.25 or 0.75 or 1 or 1.33 or 4). Suppose the government in this economy decides to decrease government purchases by $250 billion. The decrease in government spending will lead to a decrease in income, creating an initial change in consumption equal to (-$1,000 billion or -$187.5 billion or -$93.8 billion or - $62.5 billion or -500 billion). This decreases income yet again, leading to a second change in consumption equal to (- $93.8 billion or - 1,000 billion or - $500 billion or - $140.6 billion or -62.5 billion). The total change in demand resulting from the initial change in government spending is (-$1 trillion or - $1.9…
