Subpart (a):

To determine

Multiplier, MPC and change in GDP.

Subpart (a):

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Multiplier can be calculated as follows:

Multiplier=11MPS=110.4=2.5

Multiplier is 2.5. If the MPS is 0.4, the multiplier will be 2.5.

If the MPS is 0.6 then the multiplier can be calculated as follows:

Multiplier=11MPS                 =110.6                 =1.6667

If MPS is 0.6, the multiplier will be 1.667. If the MPS is 1 then the multiplier will be infinity or undefined.

Economics Concept Introduction

Concept Introduction:

Multiplier: Multiplier refers to the ratio of change in the real GDP to the change in initial consumption at constant price rate. Multiplier is positively related to the marginal propensity to consumer and negatively related with the marginal propensity to save.

Marginal propensity to consume (MPC): Marginal propensity to consume refers to the sensitivity of change in the consumption level due to the changes occurred in the income level.

Marginal propensity to save (MPS): Marginal propensity to save refers to the sensitivity of change in the saving level due to the changes occurred in the income level.

GDP (Gross Domestic Production): GDP refers to the market value of all final goods and services produced in an economy during an accounting year, at particular price.

Subpart (b):

Multiplier, MPC and change in GDP.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

If MPC is 1, then the multiplier will be infinity or undefined. If MPC is 0.90, then the multiplier can be calculated as follows:

Multiplier=11MPC                 =110.90                 =10

Hence, when MPC is 0.90, then the multiplier will be 10.

If MPC is 0.67, then multiplier can be calculated as follows:

Multiplier=11MPC                 =110.67                 =3.0303 

Hence, when MPC is 0.67, then the multiplier will be 3.

If the MPC is 0.50, then the multiplier can be calculated as follows:

Multiplier=11MPC                 =110.50                 =

Hence, when MPC is 0.50 the multiplier will be 2.

If MPC is 0, then the multiplier can be calculated as follows:

Multiplier=11MPC                 =110                 =

Hence when MPC is 1, then the multiplier will be 1.

Explanation of Solution

Multiplier can be calculated as follows:

Multiplier=11MPC                 =110.8                 =5

Change in the level of GDP can be calculated as follows:

Change in GDP=Multiplier×Investment                           =5×8 billion                           =40 billion

Hence, the change in GDP is by $40 billion.

Explanation of Solution

In case, if 0.67 is MPC, the change in GDP will be equal to $24 billion. In this case, the multiplier will be 3.

Multiplier can be calculated as follows:

Multiplier=11MPC                 =110.67                 =3.03

Change in the level of GDP can be calculated as follows:

Change in GDP=Multiplier×Investment                           =3.03×8 billion                           =24.24 billion

Hence, the change in GDP is by $24.24 billion.

Suppose that a random sample of 216 twenty-year-old men is selected from a population and that their heights and weights are recorded. A regression of weight on height yields Weight = (-107.3628) + 4.2552 x Height, R2 = 0.875, SER = 11.0160 (2.3220) (0.3348) where Weight is measured in pounds and Height is measured in inches. A man has a late growth spurt and grows 1.6200 inches over the course of a year. Construct a confidence interval of 90% for the person's weight gain. The 90% confidence interval for the person's weight gain is ( ☐ ☐) (in pounds). (Round your responses to two decimal places.)
Suppose that (Y, X) satisfy the assumptions specified here. A random sample of n = 498 is drawn and yields Ŷ= 6.47 + 5.66X, R2 = 0.83, SER = 5.3 (3.7) (3.4) Where the numbers in parentheses are the standard errors of the estimated coefficients B₁ = 6.47 and B₁ = 5.66 respectively. Suppose you wanted to test that B₁ is zero at the 5% level. That is, Ho: B₁ = 0 vs. H₁: B₁ #0 Report the t-statistic and p-value for this test. Definition The t-statistic is (Round your response to two decimal places) ☑ The Least Squares Assumptions Y=Bo+B₁X+u, i = 1,..., n, where 1. The error term u; has conditional mean zero given X;: E (u;|X;) = 0; 2. (Y;, X¡), i = 1,..., n, are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) draws from i their joint distribution; and 3. Large outliers are unlikely: X; and Y, have nonzero finite fourth moments.
