c) Multiplier = 1/ (1- MPC)
So, we can write that
1/(1 - MPC) = 3
or, 1 - MPC = 1/3
or, MPC = 2/ 3 = 0.67 (rounded to two decimal places)
We can also calculate the MPC from the slope of the AE curve.
Slope of both the AE curves are same as they are parallel to each other.
Let us consider AE1 curve, at initial equilibrium point, slope = (23000-21000)/(23000-20000) = 2000/3000 = 2/3
Hence, MPC = 2/3 = 0.67(rounded to two decimal places)

Troll Island is a small island nation that recently experienced an autonomous change in aggregate expenditures (AE). AE increased by 3 billion, and the marginal propensity to consume on Troll Island is equal to 0.65 . What is the change in Troll Island's real GDP after the increase in AE? Enter your answer in billions of dollars, rounded to one place after the decimal. For example, an answer of $2,500,000 should be entered as 2.5.
