QUESTION 10
Assuming that the "equilibrium income" is $4,000 and the "full-employment" income is $8,000, which means a recessionary gap of $4,000, how much change in government expenditures
is needed to fill the gap if MPC is 0.50?
O $3,000
O $4,000
O $1,000
O $2,000

Suppose that the investment demand curve in a certain economy is such that investment declines by $110 billion for every 1
percentage point increase in the real interest rate. Also, suppose that the investment demand curve shifts rightward by $190 billion at
each real interest rate for every 1 percentage point increase in the expected rate of return from investment. If stimulus spending (an
expansionary fiscal policy) by government increases the real interest rate by 2 percentage points, but also raises the expected rate of
return on investment by 1 percentage point, how much investment, if any, will be crowded out?
