Consider a demand-determined model, with a marginal propensity to consume of 0.80, a marginal propensity to import of 0.25 and a tax rate of 0.20. How much of an increase in economic activity would be generated by a $150 million increase in government spending? (Answers in millions, with no dollar sign - ie. $125,500,000 represented as 125.5) Answer is 245.9, show workings, thanks.
In the simple Keynesian consumption function C = 84 +0.83*Y^d, what is the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) equal to?
The Keynesian multiplier relationship Y = 1/ (1-c) is derived from two initial equations: Y = C + I and C= cY. For the multiplier relationship to be acceptable, a. the initial two equations must be acceptable b. saving must be negative c. the algebraic derivation must be correct d. all individuals must receive the same income
According to Keynes’ Law... A) The total demand for products determine the level of gross domestic product and may not equal the supply capacity of the economy in the short run. B) The total demand always equals the total supply capacity in the short run. C) The total demand tends to rise above the total supply capacity in the short run which leads to recessions D) The total supply of products determines the level of gross domestic product and the level of demand in the economy in the long run.
A. Suppose you are given the following fixed-price Keynesian model: C=280 + 0.9Y. I-200 G=100 X3D200 M= 100 + 0.1Y. T= 100 a. Find the aggregate expenditure function. b. Find the equilibrium level of real GDP. C. What is the spending multiolier in this model? Tax multiplier? d. Show that leakages injections at equilibrium. e. If taxes increase by $100, what is the new equilibrium level of GDP? E. Show your answers to b) and e) graphically.
Consider a closed economy where investment is constant and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.8. In that economy, the government decides to increase its expenditures. Why is the associated Keynesian multiplier greater than 1? Select one: a. Because the production increase leads to a revenue increase which leads to a demand increase which leads to a consumption increase which leads to further increases in production, demand and consumption b. Because the demand increase leads to a consumption increase which leads to a GDP increase which leads to a supply increase which leads to further increases in consumption, revenue and supply c. Because the demand increase leads to a supply increase which leads to a revenue increase which leads to a consumption increase which leads to further increases in demand, supply and GDP d. Because the production increase leads to a demand increase which leads to a supply increase which leads to a revenue increase which leads to further increases in…
Assuming that there is no government spending or trade, an economy’s GDP is the sum of domestic consumption C and investment I, i.e. Y = C+ I Assume that I is unaffected by GDP Assume the consumption function is C = c0 + c1Y In any equilibrium aggregate demand, AD must be equal to Y, GDP. Given this model, which FIVE of the following statements are correct? Select one or more: A. If the economy above is a demand-driven economy, then the equilibrium solution for Y is given by Y = m(c0 + I), where m = 1/(1 - c1) is the multiplier. B. if c1 = 0.8 the multiplier is equal to 1/0.8= 1.25 C. if c1 = 0.75 the multiplier is equal to 4 D. assume c0 =100, I=50, c1=0.6. The equilibrium value of Y in a demand-driven economy is 300. E. Assume that Y is initially 400, I is initially 100, and the multiplier is 2.5. I increases by 10%. The multiplier implies that in equilibrium Y will increase by 25%. F. The higher is c1 the larger is the multiplier G. If consumers…

When income is zero within the Keynesian cross model planned expenditure will be greater than zero and the intercept of the consumption function will hence not be zero either. The reason for this feature of the model is that either: The Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS) is greater than 0.5 The Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) is greater than 0.5 Autonomous consumer expenditure depends only on the level of national income Autonomous consumer expenditure does not depend on the level of national incomeOnly one answer can be correct. Please pick one and explain your reasoning.
If the Keynesian multiplier is defined as 1/ (1-c) where c is the proportion of income that is consumed, then when c increases, a. the multiplier decreasesb. income declines c. the multiplier increases d. investment increases
Consider an economy described by the IS-LM model. You are given the following data: MPC = 0.6, C * = 10 AE = Y G = 75,T = 60 I(r) = 500 – 1200r M = 250, P = 5 - k(r)Y = 0.1Y – 10r (A) Write out the planned expenditure function and solve for equilibrium output as a function of the interest rate (the IS curve). (B) Using the money demand function, solve for equilibrium output given the interest rate in the money market (the LM curve). (C) Using the IS and LM curves, derive equilibrium output and the interest rate.
true or false and why The economy is at the Keynesian equilibrium. Assuming that taxes are zero, a decrease in the marginal propensity to consume decreases unplanned inventories in the short run.
