How much does aggregate demand need to change to restore the economy to its long-run equilibrium? billion b. If the MPC is 0.75, how much do taxes need to change to shift aggregate demand by the amount you found in part a? $1 Suppose instead that the MPC is 0.6. c. How much does aggregate demand and taxes need to change to restore the economy to its long-run equilibrium? Aggregate demand needs to change by $ billion billion and taxes need to change by $ billion.

Look at Figure 2. Assume this aggregate demand diagram represents an economy with government, where: a = exogenous consumption b = the marginal propensity to consume t = the tax rate |= investment G = government spending Y = income Figure 2 Aggregate demand AD, AD. 45° Income What is the equation for the aggregate demand schedule ADo? Select one: O ADO = b+ a(1 - t)G +1+ Y O ADO = a + b(1 – 1)Y + 1+ G O ADO = a + b(1 - t) I+ Y+ G O ADO = b+ a(1 – 1)Y + /+ G Next page > ( Previous page PHILIPS

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.)
