For this question, you should draw the AS/AD diagram on your own paper, and use your diagram to find the answer. What happens to GDP deflator and real GDP if there is an increase in government spending? You may assume the increase in government buying does not cause a decrease in buying by anyone else. O GDP deflator rises and real GDP falls. O GDP deflator and real GDP both rise. O GDP deflator and real GDP both fall. O GDP deflator falls and real GDP rises.

Use the initial settings (or any other non-zero value) for the Change in Autonomous Spending and MPC. Click the "Spending Rounds" button at the top of the Settings window. Which of the following describes how the Change in Spending value in each row is related to the Disposable Income value in the same row? O In each row, Change in Spending is Disposable Income minus MPC*(Change in Autonomous Spending). Change in Spending in each row is MPC x Disposable Income for that row. O Change in Spending is always half of Disposable Income. O Change in Spending is Disposable Income times the spending multiplier.

Which of the following correctly describes how a decrease in the price level affects consumption spending? Select one: a. A decrease in the price level raises real wealth, which causes consumption to increase. b. A decrease in the price level decreases the amount of money a household needs to buy goods and so raises the interest rate, which causes consumption to increase. c. A decrease in the price level increases the amount of money a household needs to buy goods and so raises the interest rate, which causes consumption to increase. d. A decrease in the price level lowers real wealth, which causes consumption to decrease.
