The aggregate demand function: yad =C+1+G₁ = 500+ 0.75Y is plotted on the graph to the right. The graph also shows the 45° line where aggregate output Y equals aggregate demand yad for all points. What happens to aggregate output if government spending rises by 100? The equilibrium level of output rises by $ billion. (Round your response to the nearest billion.)

Suppose actual real GDP is $13.37 trillion, potential real GDP is $12.33 trillion, and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.62. If we ignore price effects, by how many trillions of dollars should the government change its spending to fix the gap? (Round this to two digits after the decimal and enter this value as either a positive value or a negative value without the dollar sign.)
Given the following information about an economy, answer the questions below: • C = 55 +0.7YD • /0 = 300 • Go = 280 ● NT 0.2Y 1 Use the multiplier to solve for Y*, and draw an AE-Y graph. Draw a BB graph for the economy. After solving for BB, show where the country's equilibrium Y would land on this graph. 2 - 3 Suppose the economy encountered a recessionary gap. Provide one way the government could use fiscal policy to close this gap and demonstrate this change on both above graphs.
Consider a demand-determined model, with a marginal propensity to consume of 0.80, a marginal propensity to import of 0.25 and a tax rate of 0.20. How much of an increase in economic activity would be generated by a $150 million increase in government spending? (Answers in millions, with no dollar sign - ie. $125,500,000 represented as 125.5) Answer is 245.9, show workings, thanks.
Consider the following income/expenditure diagram in the simple Keynesian model. If taxes, T, were increased, then Group of answer choices A) The Y = C+S+T line would shift to the right, and equilibrium Y would increase. B) the C+I+G line would shift downward, and equilibrium Y would decrease. C) The Y = C+S+T line would shift to the left, and equilibrium Y would decrease. D) neither of the lines would shift, and equilibrium Y would stay the same. E) the C+I+G line would shift upward, and equilibrium Y would increase.

The levels of real disposable income and aggregate expenditures for an economy are given in the following table. -- Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the expenditures line for this economy on the following graph. Line segments will automatically connect the points. The black line represents the 45-degree line, where aggregate expenditures equal real GDP. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate equilibrium real GDP. - - In the previous graph, if the economy produces at an output level that is higher than equilibrium GDP, then the economy is in because aggregate expenditures are real GDP, and unplanned inventory investment is Read GDP (Y) Aggregate Expenditures (AE) (Trillions of dollars per year) (Trillions of dollars per year) 0 1 1 1.75 2 2.5 3 3.25 4 4 5 4.75 6 5.5 7 6.25 8 7 Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the expenditures line for this economy on the following graph.

Suppose actual real GDP is $7.87 trillion, potential real GDP is $14.36 trillion, and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.61. If we ignore price effects, by how many trillions of dollars should the government change its lump sum taxes to fix the gap? (Round this to two digits after the decimal and enter this value as either a positive value or a negative value without the dollar sign.)
Suppose actual real GDP is $9.06 trillion, potential real GDP is $6.42 trillion, and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.59.

(Round this to two digits after the decimal and enter this value as either a positive value or a negative value without the dollar sign.)
Assuming that there is no government spending or trade, an economy’s GDP is the sum of domestic consumption C and investment I, i.e. Y = C+ I Assume that I is unaffected by GDP Assume the consumption function is C = c0 + c1Y In any equilibrium aggregate demand, AD must be equal to Y, GDP. Given this model, which FIVE of the following statements are correct? Select one or more: A. If the economy above is a demand-driven economy, then the equilibrium solution for Y is given by Y = m(c0 + I), where m = 1/(1 - c1) is the multiplier. B. if c1 = 0.8 the multiplier is equal to 1/0.8= 1.25 C. if c1 = 0.75 the multiplier is equal to 4 D. assume c0 =100, I=50, c1=0.6. The equilibrium value of Y in a demand-driven economy is 300. E. Assume that Y is initially 400, I is initially 100, and the multiplier is 2.5. I increases by 10%. The multiplier implies that in equilibrium Y will increase by 25%. F. The higher is c1 the larger is the multiplier G. If consumers…
