During the term of Pres. Benigno Aquino III was the scandal over lawmakers' misuse of PDAF (Priority Development Assistance Fund) or known as "pork barrel". Assuming that the fund went to the right hands', answer the following: 1. How much would have been generated in total income of the economy if the initial government spending is P220 B? Assume the marginal propensity to consume is 0.8. Show your solution. 2. What is the multiplier effect? (Note: Answer is numeric).

YAS = 742 + 15 P- 28Poil YAD = 478 - 45P + 18G Suppose initially, the Poil = $93 per barrel and government spending is equal to $630. %3D Part (a): Calculate equilibrium GDP and the price level. Part (b): Determine the magnitude of the multiplier if oil prices exogenously rise by $1. Part (c): Using 2 to 3 sentences, provide a theoretical explanation for why the multiplier you calculated in part (b) is smaller (in absolute value) than the simple multiplier. Hint: you should be mentioning how the price level impacts AE and AD variables. Part (d): Determine the magnitude of the multiplier if government spending exogenously increases by $1. Part (e): Using 2 to 3 sentences, provide a theoretical explanation for why the multiplier you calculated in part (d) is smaller than the simple multiplier. Hint: you should be mentioning how the price level impacts AE and AD variables.

A) a business cycle B) an expansion C) a trough D) a recession 98) Business cycle turning points are A) unaffected by, and unrelated to the multiplier. B) easy to predict. C) brought about by changes in autonomous expenditures that are then subject to the multiplier effect. D) None of the above is correct. 99) Which of the following does NOT occur as the economy moves from an expansion to a recession? A) An initial decrease in autonomous spending is the trigger that creates the business cycle turning point. B) The change in planned spending exceeds the change in real GDP. C) The multiplier process reinforces any decrease in spending and pushes the economy into recession. D) Incomes fall during recessions as firms cut production in response to unplanned increases in inventories. 100) Which of the following is INCORRECT? A) Expansions usually begin…
Suppose there is a simultaneous increase in government spending (fiscal policy) and autonomous consumption, what would happen to consumption C. tax generation T and national income Y? C+ BT-bY = Co T-tY To -C+Y = Io + Go (National Income Equation) (Consumption Function) (Income-Dependent Tax)
Consumption and Saving- End of Chapter Problem Which one of the following reasons makes it easier to forecast the impact of an income change on consumption for hand-to-mouth consumers than for consumption smoothers? It is easier because hand-to-mouth consumers only spend their permanent income. hand-to-mouth consumers save a large portion of their income. the marginal propensity to consume is 1 for consumption smoothers. hand-to-mouth consumers spend their entire income as they earn it.
In the country of Arcadia, the minimum amount of consumption spending that will occur in a given year is $50- that is, no matter what level of income households have, the aggregate amount of consumption spending in the economy will be at least $50. In addition, for every extra dollar of national income, consumption spending will increase by $0.75. (Note: For the entirety of this problem, assume that Taxes = trans fers = 0, and the aggregate price level in Arcadia is fixed.) a. What is the marginal propensity to consume in Arcadia? [TYPE YOUR ANSWER BELOW] b. Write out the consumption function for the Arcadian economy. [TYPE YOUR ANSWER BELOW]
Please no written by hand and no emage Suppose that in the economy under consideration the consumption function can be written as C = 200 + .8(Y – T). Furthermore, you know that taxes are autonomous and equal to $10. Now, suppose that investment spending is equal to $50 at every level of disposable income and government spending is constant and equal to $100 at every level of disposable income, suppose that (X – M) is constant and equal to $20 at every level of disposable income. (a)Draw a graph of the consumption function with respect to disposable income. Measure/show consumption spending on the vertical axis and disposable income on the horizontal axis (b) Calculate equilibrium national income Ye from the information given. (c) From the information given above is the government running a deficit or surplus budget? Explain why. (d) Full employment output in this economy (Yf) is equal to $2000 what do you predict is happening to inventories if the full employment level of output is…
n an effort to make sales projections, M/s K, B and A, the three B-school executives of Vengaboys Inc., were discussing about the national income and its growth in Ibiza. K had estimated a linear consumption function for Ibiza to be C = 100 + 0.6 Y, and investment to be I = 100 per ear. In Ibiza, there was no income tax and government spending was minimal (assume 0). Ibiza was a closed economy, and hence no exports and imports. (i)K immediately knew what the investment Multiplier was. Can you find out? (ii)What is the level of income in Ibiza? (iii)K estimated that with Government spending 100 on a new road to be constructed, the income levels are sure to go up. K quickly calculated the change in income and the new income level to be:
Suppose the current price level in the economy is 150 and real GDP is$5t. Net exports fall by$1t. What must be true? A the price level is now more than 150 B SRAS shifts to the left (C) the price level is now less than 150 (D) SRAS shifts to the right
Assume a closed economy in which, there is no government. If ouput (income) is 800,autonomous consumption is 100, and marginal propensity to consume is 0.70 in this economy.Then calculate the the amount of consumption spending?
In the Keynesian model, if the economy is experiencing a recessionary gap of $825 billion and the marginal propensity to save is .20, which one of the following combinations of spending and taxing changes should the government implement in order to eliminate the gap? 1. Increase government spending by $350 billion and decrease taxes by $350 billion. 2. Decrease government spending by $125 billion and increase taxes by $50 billion. 3. Decrease government spending by $250 billion and increase taxes by $150 billion. 4. Increase government spending by $600 billion and decrease taxes by $225 billion. 5. Increase government spending by $100 billion and decrease taxes by $100 billion. 6. Increase government spending by $125 billion and decrease taxes by $50 billion.
