Assuming there is no trade, if the Marginal Propensity to Consume is 0.80 and the government increases spending by $8 billion, by how much will output rise?
Select one:
a. By $24 billion
b. By $40 billion
c. By $48 billion
d. By $52 billion
e. By $60 billion
B
Change in output = Initial increase in expenditure * 1/MPS
Now MPS (Marginal propensity to save) = 1 -MPC = 1-0.8 = 0.2
Thus change in output = $8 billion/0.2 = $40 billion

Suppose there are no imports, taxes or other leakages in the economy. If the Marginal Propensity to Consume is .80 and the government increases spending by $40 billion, by how much would output increase in the economy? Select one: a. $40 billion b. $48 billion c. $80 billion d. $120 billion e. $200 billion.
Suppose the marginal propensity to consume is 0.8. The government increases government spending and taxes by $10 billion. What happens to aggregate output demanded?
Currently, a government's budget is balanced. The marginal propensity to consume is 0.80. The government has determined that each additional $10 Billion in new government debt it issues to finance a budget deficit pushes up the market interest rate by 0.1 percentage point. It has also determined that every 0.1 percentage point change in the market interest rate generates a change in investment expenditures equal to $2 Billion. Finally, the government knows that to close a recessionary gap and take...
Alexandra's Marginal Propensity to Consume is 0.80. When her income increases, she raises her savings by $80. By how much did her disposable income increase? Select one: a. By $400 b. By $500 c. By $540 d. By $600 e. By $800
If the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) equals 0.25 and the government increases spending by $600 billion, the total impact on GDP will be approximately:
Marginal propensity to consume is 0.8, and there is no trade, taxes or transfers in this economy. An increase of $1 billion in investment spending will cause O an increase of 0.8 billion dollars spending in the first round 5 billion dollars' worth of spending due to multiplier effects 4 billion dollars' worth of spending due to multiplier effects a $4 billion rightward shift in the AD curve
The government spent $ 49 billion for various infrastructure upgrades. If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.74 ?, the marginal propensity to save is ? . ?(Enter your response rounded to two decimal? places.) The increased government spending created ?$ ? billion of additional spending. ?(Enter your response rounded to two decimal? places.)
if the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is equal to 0.7, government increases spending by $X, and the GDP increases by $1000. Calculate $X. A. $500 B. $100. C. There is not enough information to answer the question. D. $ 400. E. $300.
1. Explain the effects of the following actions on equilibrium income, assuming that the marginal propensity to consume is 0.7 a. Government purchases rise by $60 billion. b. Taxes fall by $60 billion. 2. Explain how fiscal policy can be used to close the (a) contractionary gap and (b) inflationary gap.
