Ans: $116.70
Explanation:
MPS = 1- MPC
= 1 - 0.79
= 0.21
Tax multiplier = MPC / MPS = 0.79 / 0.21 = 3.76
Decrease in taxes by = $439 / 3.76 = $116.76
If the MPC in an economy is 0.79, government could shift the aggregate demand curve rightward...
if the MPC is an economy is .8, government could shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $100 billion by:
Suppose that in an economy with a MPC of 0.58 the government wanted to shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $457 at each price level to expand real GDP. It could increase government spending by: (round to the nearest second decimal).
Assume that a hypothetical economy with an MPC of 0.8 is experiencing severe recession. a. By how much would government spending have to rise to shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $25 billion? billion How large a tax cut would be needed to achieve the same increase in aggregate demand? Instructions: Round your answer to 2 decimal places and enter your answer as a positive number. Tax cut - ARRASANTA billion. b. Determine one possible combination of government spending...

What might cause the Aggregate Demand curve to shift to the right? What does this mean for the state of the economy? What might cause the Aggregate Demand curve to shift to the left? What does this mean for the state of the economy? Sometimes the Aggregate Supply curve is drawn as an upward sloping straight line--other times it is drawn initially flat, then upsloping, then very steep. How does the shape of the AS curve matter for the effect...
Question 38 A contractionary fiscal policy is shown as a: rightward shift in the economy's aggregate demand curve. rightward shift in the economy's aggregate supply curve. movement along an existing aggregate demand curve. leftward shift in the economy's aggregate demand curve. Question 39 An appropriate fiscal policy for a severe recession is: a decrease in government spending. a decrease in tax rates. appreciation of the dollar. an increase in interest rates.
