With an MPC of 0.8, government spending increases $20 billion while taxes decrease $10 billion. Based on this data, what is the cumulative effect on GDP?

Suppose investment spending increases by $50 billion and as a result the equilibrium income increases by $200 billion. What is the value of the MPC?

The following graph shows total production (TP) and the level of Natural Real GDP (NRGDP) for a hypothetical economy. When Real GDP is $325 billion, consumption is $275 billion, government purchases are $50 billion, and investment is $25 billion. When Real GDP is $375 billion, consumption is $300 billion, government purchases are $50 billion, and investment is $25 billion. Use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot the economy's total expenditure function within a simplified Keynesian framework.

Check all that apply. ✓ A decrease in consumption ✓ An increase in government purchases A decrease in government purchases ✓ An increase in…

How does an increase in government spending affect the aggregate expenditure line? It shifts the aggregate expenditure line upward. It shifts the aggregate expenditure line downward. It increases the slope of the aggregate expenditure line. It decreases the slope of the aggregate expenditure line.
