Aplia Homework: Aggregate Expenditure and Aggregate Demand
Consider a hypothetical economy in which the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.50. That is, if disposable income increases by $1,
consumption increases by 50¢.
Suppose further that last year disposable income in the economy was $350 billion and consumption was $300 billion.
