Suppose there is some hypothetical economy in which households spend $0.50 of each additional dollar they earn and save the $0.50 they have left over. The following graph plots the economy's initial aggregate demand curve (AD₁). Suppose now that the government increases its purchases by $3.5 billion. Use the green line (triangle symbol) on the following graph to show the aggregate demand curve (AD2) after the multiplier effect takes place. Hint: Be sure the new aggregate demand curve (AD2) is parallel to AD₁. You can see the slope of AD₁ by selecting it on the following graph.

An economy is characterized by the following desired consumption and investment functions: C = 543 + 0.72Y and I = 752. Part (a): Calculate the equilibrium level of GDP and the multiplier for this economy. Round your answer for the multiplier to 3 decimal places. Example: 0.001 Part (b): Suppose the level of desired investment changed to I = 731, with no change to desired consumption. What is the new equilibrium GDP level for the economy? Part (c): Using 1 to 2 sentences, describe how this change to desired investment affects the AE function graphically. Part (d): Suppose the desired investment levels returns to I = 752, but now consumers spend 86 cents of every dollar earned. What is the new equilibrium GDP level for the economy? Part (e): Using 1 to 2 sentences, describe how this change to consumption habits affects the AE function graphically.
TOPIC: Consumption and Saving
My friend Marie decides to set aside $200 from her paycheck every month. How will this affect her demand curve? (You don't have to use specific numbers, just explain) When Marie sets aside money from her paycheck, this is the same thing as a decrease in her income. Remember that when income increases, the demand curve shifts outwards to reflect the increase in spending. In this case, Marie's demand curve will shift inwards as she tries to economize more than usual. She will buy fewer goods, even if the prices don't change. Illustrate in graph
In Utopia (a country with substantial excess resources), consumers spend 70% of their incomes and save 30%; the country spends 30% of GDP on imports and the government typically takes 10% of household incomes in taxation.a) What is the value of the multiplier?Last year, the Utopian Government spent 5Bn Utopian Dollars on current expenditure; Utopian households spent 0.5Bn Utopian Dollars in “autonomous consumption” and Utopian enterprises sold goods and services worth 10 Bn Utopian dollars to other countries. Utopian investors spent 15Bn Utopian dollars in maintaining and enhancing the country’s capital equipment.b) What was the value of GDP last year?c) What was the value of the Utopian Government’s budget surplus or deficit last year?d) How would the value of the multiplier (in 2(a) change if Utopia was a closed economy (so zero imports)?e) If the Utopian economy were already at its potential GDP (ie its full -employment GDP), what would happen to the value of the multiplier?
Consider a hypothetical closed economy in which there are no income taxes. If households spend $0.75 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remainder, the expenditure multiplier for this economy is The following graph shows the initial aggregate demand (AD) and short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curves of this economy. Suppose that the economy is currently in a recession. Business firms are pessimistic about the future and do not respond to a fall in interest rates. In addition, all households are pessimistic about job prospects and desire to consume less and save more at all levels of income. As a result, personal consumption in this economy decreases by $1 billion. The reduction in personal consumption will lead to a decrease in aggregate demand by S Shift either the AD curve or the SRAS curve, or both, to show the new aggregate demand curve after the full impact of the multiplier process of the reduction in personal consumption has taken place.

Consider a hypothetical economy in which households spend $0.50 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.50. The following graph shows the economy's initial aggregate demand curve (AD1). Suppose the government increases its purchases by $2 billion. Use the green line (triangle symbol) on the following graph to show the aggregate demand curve (AD2) after the multiplier effect takes place. Hint: Be sure the new aggregate demand curve (AD2) is parallel to AD1. You can see the slope of AD1 by selecting it on the following graph. 114 152 110 100 100 104 102 150 100 102 104 108 108 110 112 114 110 OUTPUT( 30 41 The following graph shows the money market in equilibrium at an interest rate of 1.5% and a quantity of money equal to $45 billion.

Consider a hypothetical economy where there are no taxes and no foreign trade, and households spend $0.90 of each additional dollar they earn and ; the marginal propensity to save (MPS) for this save the remaining $0.10. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is economy is ; and the multiplier for this economy is Suppose investment spending in this economy decreases by $150 billion. The decrease in investment will lead to a decrease in income, generating a decrease in consumption that decreases income yet again, and so on. Fill in the following table to show the impact of the change in investment spending on the first two rounds of consumption spending and, eventually, on total output and income. Hint: Be sure to enter a negative sign in front of the number if there is a decrease in consumption. Change in Investment Spending = -$150 billion First Change in Consumption = $ Second Change in Consumption $ Total Change in Output = $ billion billion billion In reality,…
5. Graphing the saving and consumption functions from MPC Consider a hypothetical economy in which the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.5. That is, if disposable income increases by $1, consumption increases by 50¢. Suppose further that last year, disposable income in the economy was $300 billion and consumption was $250 billion. Based on these data, use the blue line (circle symbols) to plot this economy's consumption function on the following graph.
