Assume the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.75. What is the eventual effect on real GDP if the government, instead of changing its spending, increases transfers by $60,000? Assume the MPC has not changed. An increase in government transfers or taxes, as opposed to an increase in government purchases of goods and services, will result in O no change to real GDP. O a smaller eventual effect on real GDP. a larger eventual effect on real GDP. O an identical eventual effect on real GDP.arrow_forward
