Answer #1

Marginal propensity to consume = 0.6

Government expenditure and lump sum taxes are both increased by 100

Equilibrium income will rise by 100

option(B)

Spending Multiplier = 1/(1-MPC = 1/1-0.6 = 2.5

Income increases by 100*2.5 = 250

Tax multiplier = -MPC/(1-MPC) = -0.6/0.4 = -1.5

Income decreases by 100*1.5 = 150

so, Net increase =250-150 =100
