- If the intersection of AD and SRAS occurs at $21 trillion GDP but full employment GDP (LRAS) is at $22 trillion GDP, which of the following policy choices would help move the economy toward full employment? a) Lowering income taxes and payroll taxes for all employees. b) All of the choices would help increase AD and bring the economy closer to full employment. c) increasing the money supply to lower interest rates. d) Increases government spending on infrastructure. e) Sending out stimulus checks to everyone earning less than $100,000 per year.arrow_forwardtrue 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.arrow_forwardYAS = 742 + 15 P- 28Poil YAD = 478 - 45P + 18G Suppose initially, the Poil = $93 per barrel and government spending is equal to $630. %3D Part (a): Calculate equilibrium GDP and the price level. Part (b): Determine the magnitude of the multiplier if oil prices exogenously rise by $1. Part (c): Using 2 to 3 sentences, provide a theoretical explanation for why the multiplier you calculated in part (b) is smaller (in absolute value) than the simple multiplier. Hint: you should be mentioning how the price level impacts AE and AD variables. Part (d): Determine the magnitude of the multiplier if government spending exogenously increases by $1. Part (e): Using 2 to 3 sentences, provide a theoretical explanation for why the multiplier you calculated in part (d) is smaller than the simple multiplier.

- 4. The investment demand curve The following table shows the expected rate of profit and the cumulative amount of investment with that rate of profit or higher in a hypothetical economy. For example, $100 billion worth of investment projects have an expected rate of profit that is greater than or equal to 8%. Put another way, at an interest rate of 8%, the amount of investment demanded equals $100 billion. Expected Rate of Profit Cumulative Investment at this Rate of Profit or Higher (Percent) (Billions of Dollars) 75 INTEREST RATE (Percent) 16 15 14 13 12 + 11 10 2 0 Using the blue points (circle symbol), plot the hypothetical economy's investment demand curve (1) on the graph.

Let us say that we are experiencing an inflationary gap of $200 million. The government decides to increase taxes. Assume that the MPC equals .80. What will be the tax increase?arrow_forward
- If the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is .90 estimate the total (multiplied) effect of governement purchases/spending of $100B in the economy of its aggregate expenditurearrow_forwardDuring the 1930s the U.S. entered the Great Depression. During the Great depression investment fell from a yearly rate of $16.7 billion to $1.7 billion. In 1932, President Hoover increased income taxes. Assume the MPC is .92 C). If the AD shortfall in 1934 was $300 billion, what change in government expenditures on goods and services (G) would you have recommended to restore full-employment? D). If the AD shortfall in 1934 was $300 billion, what change in income/transfer payments would you have recommended ? E). If the AD shortfall in 1934 was $300 billion, what change in income taxes would you have recommended ?arrow_forwardAccording to Keynes' Law... 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. The total supply of products determines the level of gross domestic product and the level of demand in the economy in the long run. The total demand always equals the total supply capacity in the short run. The total demand tends to rise above the total supply capacity in the short run which leads to recessions 10 발 lyiarrow_forward
- A recessionary gap: Would cause a depletion of inventories. Would occur if total output were less that aggregate demand. Is the amount by which aggregate expenditure falls short of full employment GDP. Is the amount by which total spending exceeds GDP.arrow_forwardThe level of AD needed to achieve full employment is $150 billion. The current level of Real GDP (output) is $100 billion. A $5 billion increase in government spending closes the gap and restores FullEmployment. What is the Marginal Propensity to Consume?arrow_forwardWhat is inflationary gap? Select one: When aggregate expenditures are greater than the full employment level causing a demand pull-inflation When aggregate expenditures are greater than full employment level causing cost push inflation None of the options are correct It is the gap between a developed nation GDP and an under-developed/ developing nation GDP When aggregate expenditures are inadequate to bring about a full employment levelarrow_forward
