Ans) the value of the multiplier = 10
Multiplier = change in output / change in investment
= 200/20 = 10

7 . Study Questions and Problems #5 Suppose the value of the MPC in an economy is 0.5 The value of the MPS in this economy is and the value of the spending multiplier in this economy is Now, suppose the value of the MPC in an economy is 0.8 The value of the MPS in this economy is , and the value of the spending multiplier in this economy is If the value of the MPC increases, the spending...

Suppose that investment expenditures increases by $300 billion in a closed and private economy (no government or foreign trade). Assume further that households have a marginal propensity to consume of 75 percent. What will be the final cumulative impact on spending? $900 billion $225 billion $375 billion $525 billion
Suppose the multiplier is 2 and the short-run aggregate supply curve is positively sloped. Investment increases by $10 billion. In the short run, equilibrium real GDP a. does not change. o b. decreases by less than $20 billion. oc increases by $20 billion. increases by less than $20 billion. O e. increases by more than $20 billion. od.
Suppose the MPC is .9 and planned investment increases by $100 billion. After the multiplier process has taken effect, the Aggregate Demand curve will have shifted to the right by $_______________ billion.
1.) Suppose an economy is initially in equilibrium when GDP equals $16 trillion. Now suppose government spending increases by $0.3 trillion and that the economy's multiplier is 3. What is the new equilibrium level of GDP? Provide your answer in dollars measured in trillions round to two decimal places. Do not include any symbols, such as "$," "=," "%," or "," in your answer.
Suppose that the current equilibrium GDP for a country is $13.5 trillion and that potential GDP is $14.3 trillion. How much does a change in tax revenue restore the economy to potential GDP, assuming the value of the government purchase multiplier is equal to 2 and a tax multiplier equal to -1.6 tax revenue decreases by $800 billion tax revenue increase by $800 billion tax revenue decrease by $500 bilion tax revenue decrease by $400 billion Suppose that the government...
10. Suppose that consumer spending initially rises by 7 billion for every 1 percent rise in household wealth and that investment spending initially rises (or falls) by 20 billion for every percentage point fall (rise) in the real interest rate. Also, assume the economy's multiplier is 5. a. If household wealth rises by 5% and the real interest rate increases by 1%, by how much would aggregate demand initially shift at each price level? By how much and in which...
2. Let's assume that in a hypothetical economy currency in circulation is $600 billion, the amount of checkable deposits is $900 billion, excess reserves are $15 billion and required reserve ratio is 10%. a. Calculate money supply, currency to deposit ratio, excess reserve ratio and money multiplier. b. Suppose Fed conducts very large open market purchase of $1400 billion due to a sharp recession. Assuming the ratios hold, what will be the effect on money supply? c. Now suppose the...
