**Instructions:** In the table, enter your answers as a whole number. Round your answers for the MPC and the multiplier to 1 decimal place.

What is the value of the MPC?
[Input Box]

b. Assume now that a lump-sum tax is imposed such that the government collects $10 billion in taxes at all levels of GDP. Add the after-tax consumption to the table below.

| GDP, Billions | Consumption, Before Tax, Billions | Lump-Sum Tax, Billions | Consumption, After Tax, Billions |
|---------------|----------------------------------|------------------------|---------------------------------|
| 100           | 120                              | 10                     | [Input Box]                     |
| 200           | 200                              | 10                     | [Input Box]                     |
| 300           | 280                              | 10                     | [Input Box]                     |
| 400           | 360                              | 10                     | [Input Box]                     |
| 500           | 440                              | 10                     | [Input Box]                     |
| 600           | 520                              | 10                     | [Input Box]                     |
| 700           | 600                              | 10                     | [Input Box]                     |

Compare the MPC and the multiplier with those of the pretax consumption schedule.

MPC after tax = [Input Box]
  
Multiplier after tax = [Input Box]

**The MPC and multiplier are:**

- [ ] higher before the tax.
- [ ] higher after the tax.
- [ ] the same before and after the tax.
