Which of the following is not a valid point in debating the merits of increasing government expenditures or cutting taxes during a recession? a. A cut in the marginal tax rate increases the incentives to find a job and work longer hours. b. Consumers will save a portion of a tax cut. c. The government may use the increase in expenditures on projects with little value, particularly, if it wishes to respond quickly. d. There is no evidence that tax cuts have been followed by increases in economic growth.
a) About Country A, what is your estimate of the country's marginal propensity to consume (MPC) based on the following information on its GDP (Y) and the components thereof (in billion dollars) for two past years? Show calculation. Year 1 Year 2 c) GDP C I 11200 8000 2200 12000 8500 2400 G 800 880 The next few parts are about Country B, whose government plans to cut taxes by $24 billion as a measure to fight the current recession. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) in Country B is known to be 34. There will be no crowding-out effect. e) NX 200 220 b) What is the initial effect (in billion dollars) of the tax cut on Country B's aggregate demand? (The "initial effect" here refers to the effect on AD after only the first round of increased spending.) What is the total effect of the tax cut on aggregate demand? Explain why it is different from the initial effect. d) How does the total effect of this $24 billion tax cut compare to the total effect of a $24 billion increase in…
1.4. The deflationary gap in an economy is calculated to be $700 billion. The marginal propensity to save (MPS) is 0.1 The marginal propensity to import is (MPM) 0.15 The marginal rate of taxation is (MPT) 0.1. By how much would the government need change its spending on goods and services to eliminate the deflationary gap? 1.5. How does CHANGE in PRICES effect your lives? 1.6.

Consider the table on the right, which shows business investment in inventories for each quarter from the first quarter of 2007 to the first quarter of 2012, measured in millions of 2007 dollars. Provide a macroeconomic explanation for this pattern. (Hint: When did the recession during this period begin and end?) The negative growth of inventories indicates a period of OA. inflation since inventories needed to be reduced in the face of increasing storage cost OB. recession because demand was met by drawing down past inventories and production did not increase. OC. recovery since inventories needed to be used to meet demand. OD. recession because inventories increased due to lack of demand Year 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Quarter Q1 308889 Q2 Q3 Q4 R288828 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 228892889 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Inventory Investment (millions of 2007 dollars) $3360 - 2822 15,570 19,644 6061 9512 11,856 4699 -2364 7779 -4807 - 4807 2663 2508 4841 -6805 8965 12,153 6462 2179 2061 7298 14,091 3875…
What is the eventual effect on real GDP if the government increases its purchases of goods and services by $75,000? 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 $75,000? 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 an identical eventual effect on real GDP. no change to real GDP. a larger eventual effect on real GDP. a smaller eventual effect on real GDP.
Answer the following questions, which relate to the aggregate expenditures model:a. If Ca is $100, Ig is $50, Xn is -$10, and G is $30, what is the economy’s equilibrium GDP?b. If real GDP in an economy is currently $200, Ca is $100, Ig is $50, Xn is -$10, and G is $30, will the economy’s real GDP rise, fall, or stay the same?c. Suppose that full-employment (and full-capacity) output in an economy is $200. If Ca is $150, Ig is $50, Xn is -$10, and G is $30, what will be the macroeconomic result?
a). A recessionary gap is how much GDP needs to increase from the current GDP to achieve full employment. Let us say that we are experiencing a recessionary gap of $36 million. Also assume that the MPC equals .80. The government decides to decrease taxes in order to close the recessionary gap. What will be the tax decrease? b). An inflationary gap is how much GDP needs to decrease from the current GDP to maintain employment while avoiding inflation. 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?
Suppose an economy had aggregate demand components with the following relationships: Consumption spending, C=140+.60*(DY) Investment spending,I=25+.15*Y Government Spending, G= 0 Net Export Spending,X=0 Tax collections, Tx=0 a. What is the equilibrium income for this economy? b. If the government decided to increase G spending by 6, what would be the new equilibrium income for this economy? c. If instead the government decided to reduce Tx (taxes) by 10, what would be the new equilibrium income for the economy? d. If instead the government decided to increase G spending and Increase Tx (taxes) by 20, what would be the new equilibrium for this economy?
The aggregate demand function: yad =C+1+G₁ = 500+ 0.75Y is plotted on the graph to the right. The graph also shows the 45° line where aggregate output Y equals aggregate demand yad for all points. What happens to aggregate output if government spending rises by 100? The equilibrium level of output rises by $ billion. (Round your response to the nearest billion.) Consumption Expenditure, C ($ billions) 3000- 2800- 2600- 2400- 2200- 2000- 1800- 1600- 1400- 1200- 1000- 800- 600- 400- 200- 0- 0 yad =C+I+G₁ = 500 +0.75Y Y = yad 45° 400 800 1200 1600 2000 2400 2800 Disposable Income ($ billions)
Macmillan Learning What is the eventual effect on real GDP if the government increases its purchases of goods and services by $60,000? 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.
Question 8 Real GDP in the economy is $7,900 Billion and the Marginal Propensity to Consume is 0.56. What will Real GDP in the economy be, in $ Billions, after a $10 Billion increase in Government Spending? (Round your FINAL answer to the nearest whole number/integer.) (BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO ROUND "MIDDLE" CALCULATIONS. ONLY ROUND THE FINAL ANSWER.) (Do not enter a dollar sign, $. or the word "Billion", just the number.)
The image attached, is a screen shot of the question. The question is: If the marginal propensity to consume was 0.8, low large would each of the following need to be in order to restore full-employment equilibrium? A. A tax increase ________billion B. A government spending cut $_________billion C. A cut in income transfers $________billion. I need to know how to figure this out. Again the screen shot of the question with the graph it attached.
