Answer : Multiplier =1/MPS =1/0.4 = 2.5
Change in GDP = Multiplier * Change in government spending =2.5*50,000 =1,25,000
If the MPS is 0.4 and gov taxes decrease by 50 thousand, what is the change...

Investment Problem: 1. Assume the MPC is 3/4, if investment spending increase by $50 billion, the level of GDP will: 2. Assume the MPC is 2/3, if investment spending decreases by $30 billion, the level of GDP will: Export Problem: 3. If the multiplier in an economy is 4, a $50 billion increase in exports will: 4. If the multiplier in an economy is 3,a $30 billion decrease in exports will: Balanced Budget Problem: 5. If the MPC is .75...
The following are assumptions about an economy: MPS = 0.2. There are no income taxes or transfers, and the economy does not trade. The price level is constant i.e. does not change in response to economic conditions. Due to a fall in autonomous investment, real GDP falls from $6,000 million to $5,000 million. The reduction in autonomous investment was equal to $ A million

Why is the multiplier for a change in taxes smaller than for a change in spending? a. A change in taxes has no effect on aggregate demand, only on aggregate supply. b. A change in taxes directly affects government spending as well, lowering the multiplier. c. A change in taxes affects spending directly, but at a slower rate than spending does. d. A change in taxes affects disposable income and then consumption rather than spending directly. e. All of the...
