Consider two economies, A and B. Economy A has a marginal propensity to consume of 0.9, a net tax rate of 0.2 and a marginal propensity to import of 0.2. Economy B has a marginal propensity to consume of 0.7, a net tax rate of 0.2 and a marginal propensity to import of 0.2. Suppose there is an increase in autonomous investment of $5 billion in each of these economies. Which of the following statements is true? Select one: O A. The AD curve shifts farther to the right in Economy A than Economy B. O B. The AD curve shifts to the left the same amount in both economies. O C. The simple multiplier is larger in Economy A. O D. The AD curve shifts to the right the same amount in both economies. O E. The AD curve shifts farther to the left in Economy B than Economy A.

Do not type in dollar signs or round any of your answers. Suppose a country's production function is Y = K1/2L1/2. If capital depreciates at the rate of 5 percent each year and the population grows at the rate of 1 percent each year, calculate the savings rate that would lead to a steady-state equilibrium value for capital per worker of 100 machines: savings rate = percent In this steady-state equilibrium, output per worker is and consumption per worker is
in the aggregate expenditure model for a closed economy assuming investment, government spending and taxes are exogenous, if the marginal prosperity to consume is 0.8, a simultaneous 50 unit increase in government spending and a 20 unit decrease in investment will change equilibrium income by?
Suppose that imports decreases by 10 and the other components remain, calculate the new equilibrium level of income.
Assume a closed economy in which, there is no government. If autonomous consumption is80, autonomous investment is 70, and marginal propensity to save is 0.25 in this economy.Then calculate the amount of equilibrium output (income)?
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…
Suppose a closed economy has an intended investment of 100 and an aggregate consumption function given by C = 250 + 0.75Yd. Suppose also that the government spends 150 but collects no taxes. What is equilibrium output and income?
A nation's potential output/GDP is best described as: The maximum level of output/GDP which can be produced with a nation's resources. The maximum growth rate of output/GDP a nation can sustain by keeping both taxes and interest rates low. The maximum growth rate of output/GDP a nation can sustain by keeping interest rates low. The maximum growth rate of output/GDP a nation can sustain by keeping taxes low. A high-employment level of output/GDP.
Given a consumption function of C= $25 +0.75 YD, if disposable income is $1,000, then the average propensity to consume equals Multiple Choice 1.0. 0.6. 1.6. 0.4.
The private consumption of Macroland is given by C=500+0.75Y and the private investment function is given by I=400−1000r, where r is the interest rate and Y is the GDP. The planned aggregate expenditure can therefore be written as PE=C+I=900+0.75Y−1000r. The equilibrium in the goods and services market happens when the planned expenditure is equal to the actual expenditure, or PE=Y Find the equilibrium GDP by solving the system of equations PE=900+0.75Y-1000r PE= Y for Y and PE. Note your solutions will depend on r! 1. Plot your solution for Y in a diagram measuring Y on the horizontal axis and r on the vertical axis. This curve is called the IS curve.
From the information above, calculate the level of consumption and saving that occurs at the equilibrium level of income.
Suppose output and income is equal to 16100, the marginal propensity to consume is 0.65, and autonomous consumption is 675. Calculate total saving for this economy, assuming no public or foreign sector. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
