The collective market capitalization of stock in American companies increased from $34 trillion at the end of 2019 to $41 trillion at the end of 2020. Not all of the stock is owned by American consumers but for this problem pretend that it is. If the marginal propensity to consume stock wealth is 0.01 then how much would we expect consumption spending to increase due to the increase in the stock wealth? $ billion

Consider two economies, A and B. Economy A has a marginal propensity to consume of 0.9, a net tax rate of 0.2 and a marginal propensity to import of 0.2. Economy B has a marginal propensity to consume of 0.7, a net tax rate of 0.2 and a marginal propensity to import of 0.2. Suppose there is an increase in autonomous investment of $5 billion in each of these economies. Which of the following statements is true? Select one: O A. The AD curve shifts farther to the right in Economy A than Economy B. O B. The AD curve shifts to the left the same amount in both economies. O C. The simple multiplier is larger in Economy A. O D. The AD curve shifts to the right the same amount in both economies. O E. The AD curve shifts farther to the left in Economy B than Economy A.

Consider an economy in which taxes, planned investment, government spending on goods and services, and net exports are autonomous, but consumption and planned investment change as the interest rate changes. You are given the following information concerning autonomous consumption, the marginal propensity to consume, planned investment, government purchases of goods and services, and net exports: Ca = 1,500 – 20r, c = 0.6; I= 2,450 – 60r; G= 1,980; NX =- 200; T = 1,750. a. Compute the value of the marginal propensity to save. b. Compute the amounts of autonomous planned spending, Ap, when the interest rate equals 0, 2, 4, and 6. c. Compute the equilibrium levels of income when the interest rate equals 0, 2, 4, and 6. Graph the IS curve. d. Suppose that policymakers decide to reduce the number of troops in Afghanistan, which results in a reduction of government spending of $80 billion. Compute the new amounts of autonomous spending, Ap, when the interest rate equals 0, 2, 4, and 6. e.…
