Suppose a closed economy with no government spending which in equilibrium is producing an output and income of 2300. Suppose also that the marginal propensity to consume is 0.80, and that, if at full employment, the economy would produce an output and income of 3750 By how much would the government need to cut taxes (T) to bring the economy to full employment?

- If the marginal propensity to consume is then the government spending multiplier is 3. True O Falsearrow_forwardIf 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_forwardExplain the effects of the following actions on equilibrium income, assuming that the marginal propensity to consume is 0.8 A. Government purchases rise by $40 billion B. Taxes fall by $40 billion.arrow_forward
- At an intial point on the aggregate demand curve, the price level is 100, the real GDP is $18 trillion. After the price level rises to 110, however there is an upward movement along the aggregate demand curve, and real GDP declines to $14 trillion. If total planned spending declines by $200 billion in response to the increase in the price level, what is the MPC in this economy?arrow_forwardIn an economy the value of Marginal propensity to save Is 0.21 Calculate the value of Marginal propensity to consumearrow_forwardGiven an economy is currently producing at $1.2T rGDP, natural rGDP is $1.3T, and the MPC is 0.9, then the multiplier for increases in aggregate expenditures is: 10 A (whole number, no decimals). This means the federal government should increase its expenditures by A (whole number) billion dollars.arrow_forward
- True or false? Why?"The marginal propensity to consume out of transitory income is greater than the marginal propensity to consume out of permanent income."arrow_forwardThe tax rate is 0.4. The marginal propensity to import is 0.5 . When real GDP increases from $20,000 to $20,198, consumption increases from $18,000 to $18,050. What is the marginal propensity to consume?arrow_forwardPotential GDP is at 500 trillion, actual GDP is at 375 Trillion. If spending multiplier is 2.857 how much is needed to close the gap ?arrow_forward
