Suppose that the economy is experiencing a recession with an estimated recessionary gap of $15 billion. Congress is considering the use of fiscal policy to ease the recession, but due to current political sentiments, it has determined that the maximum spending increase the government is willing to support is $2 billion. It wants to make up the remainder of the recessionary gap using tax cuts. If a spending increase of $2 billion is approved and the MPC is 0.8, by how much will taxes need to be reduced to close the remainder of the recessionary gap? Instructions: Round your answer to 2 decimal places. 5 billion

The recent economic recession was brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic brought along mitigation efforts such as stay-at home/shelter in place orders, cancelling of large gathering, social distancing, etc,. What impact have these mitiation efforts likely had on the MPC and the multiplier in the U.S. economy? What does this imply about the effectiveness and level of fiscal policy needed to bring the U.S. economy out of the recession.
