- Assume that an economy with an MPC of 0.8 is experiencing a recessionary gap of $25 billion. The government has decided to intervene in the economy by using fiscal policy to fight the recession. By how much would government spending have to change to bring about a total change in aggregate demand of $25 billion?

- Suppose that the economy is experiencing a recession with an estimated recessionary gap of $30 billion. Congress is considering the use of fiscal policy to ease the recession, but due to current political sentiments, it has determined that the maximum spending increase the government is willing to support is $6 billion. It wants to make up the remainder of the recessionary gap using tax cuts. If a spending increase of $6 billion is approved and the MPC is 0.75, by how much will taxes need to be reduced to close the remainder of the recessionary gap? Instructions: Round your answer to 2 decimal places. $____billionarrow_forwardThe marginal propensity to save is 0.20.

- The government spends an additional $926 billion and the marginal propensity to consume is 66%. How much will GDP increase due to this additional government spending? Enter your answer in billions and round to two decimal places.arrow_forwardThe marginal propensity to consume out of permanent income equals 0.9 and the marginal propensity to consume out of transitory income equals 0.1. Suppose that there is an emergency increase in government spending of $200 billion to repair infrastructure. The spending takes place within a year. The spending increase is financed by a one-time increase in taxes. Prior to the increase in government spending, permanent income equals $9,600 billion and transitory income equals zero. (a) Compute the amounts of consumption expenditures and private saving prior to the tax increase. (b) Compute the amount of changes in consumption expenditures and private saving, given that the tax increase lasts for only one year. (c) Compute the initial change in aggregate demand that results from this combination of increases in government spending and taxes.arrow_forwardSuppose the president is successful in passing a $5 billion tax increase. Assume that taxes are fixed, the economy is closed, and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75. What happens to equilibrium GDP? There is a $20 billion increase in equilibrium GDP. There is a $20 billion decrease in equilibrium GDP. There is a $15 billion increase in equilibrium GDP. There is a $15 billion decrease in equilibrium GDP.arrow_forward
