Calculate autonomous consumption expenditure from the following date about an economy which is In equilibrium.National income = Rs. 1,100Marginal propensity to save = 0.20Investment expenditure = Rs. 80(Autonomous Consumption Expenditure = 120
The economy is in equilibrium such that Planned Aggregate Expenditure (AE) = Aggregate Output (Y) = 1,200. We have earlier observed that when Y increased from 900 to 1,200 Aggregate Consumption (C) increased from 800 to 1000. If investments increase by 55, how much will Aggregate Income change from its current value of 1,200? 110 82.5 165 1,365 1,310
Use the figure to calculate the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) between point A and point B. MPC = (Enter your response as a real number rounded to two decimal places.) C Real consumption spending ($ billions) Consumption and National Income $3,750 $2,250 B $3,000 $5,000 Real national income or real GDP ($ billions) C
Suppose that autonomous consumption is 2,190, government purchases are 590, taxes are 0, planned investment spending is 648, net exports are -132, and the MPC is 0.71. What is the value of autonomous spending? Round your answer to the closest 2 decimal places if needed. Do not enter dollar signs ($) in your answer.
Calculate investment expenditure from the following data about an economy which in equilibrium: National income =$1000 Marginal propensity to save=$0.25 Autonomous consumption expenditure=$200
Scenario A: The following facts apply to a small, imaginary economy. • Consumption spending is $5,200 when income is $8,000. • Consumption spending is $5,536 when income is $8,400. Refer to Scenario A above. The simple expenditure multiplier for this economy is Answers: 6.00 6.25 8.40 9.00
Refer to the below table. Which statement is true if aggregate income (output) is 1000? Aggregate Output 200 All Figures in Billions of Dollars Aggregate Consumption 300 Planned Investment 100 400 450 100 600 600 100 800 750 100 1,000 900 100 There is an unplanned increase in inventories and output will subsequently decrease. There is an unplanned increase in inventories and output will subsequently increase. There is an planned decrease in inventories and output will subsequently decrease. There is neither an unplanned decrease nor an increase. Output will remain the same. There is an planned increase in inventories and output will subsequently increase.

Calculate MPC when a change in investment spending of 40 million leads to an increase in real GDP by 160 million.
The following table shows consumption (C), investment spending (I), and government purchases (G), for some hypothetical economy at several levels of income (reported in billions of dollars of real GDP). Assume that in this economy, income is taxed at a rate of 25%, base consumption is $50 billion, and that the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.667, or 2/3. Further assume that this economy is closed, that is, there is no international trade and so net exports are always equal to zero. Use the given information to fill in disposable income, consumption, and planned expenditures in the following table. Income: Real GDP Disposable (After Tax) Income C Ip G Planned Expenditures (Billions of dollars) (Billions of dollars) (Billions of dollars) (Billions of dollars) (Billions of dollars) (Billions of dollars) 0 0 50 100 50 100 100 50 200 100 50 300 100 50 400 100 50 500 100 50…
