Answer D 3
Explanation
Multiplier = 1/MPS
MPS = 1 - MPC = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3
Multiplier = 1/(1/3) = 3

What are the marginal propensity to consume and marginal propensity to save and the multiplier? What is that money is neutral in the long run but not in the short run?
All else equal, how would an increase in the tax rate affect the government purchases multiplier? A. It increases the multiplier only if the marginal propensity to consume if the MPC is greater than the tax rate. B. It has no effect. C. It increases the multiplier only if the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is less than the tax rate. D. It increases the government purchases multiplier. E. It decreases the government purchases multiplier.
If the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) increases... A. The MPS increases B. The multiplier decreases C. MPC +MPS is less than 1 D. THe multiplier increases
Suppose the marginal propensity to consume is 0.7 and the government votes to increase taxes by $1.5 billion. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary. Assume the tax rate and the marginal propensity to import are 0. Calculate the tax multiplier tax multiplier:-2.3 Calculate the resulting change in the equilibrium quantity of real GDP demanded -3.5 billion
An increase in the marginal propensity to consume Select one: a increases the multiplier, so that changes in government expenditures have a larger effect on aggregate demand. b. decreases the multiplier, so that changes in government expenditures have a larger effect on aggregate demand. C. increases the multiplier, so that changes in government expenditures have a smaller effect on aggregate demand. d. decreases the multiplier, so that changes in government expenditures have a smaller effect on aggregate demand. If many...
Assuming there is no trade, if the Marginal Propensity to Consume is 0.80 and the government increases spending by $8 billion, by how much will output rise? Select one: a. By $24 billion b. By $40 billion c. By $48 billion d. By $52 billion e. By $60 billion
what is the value of the multiplier if the marginal propensity to consume is 0.5? Show your work
7. If marginal propensity to consume (mpc) is 0.8, tax rate (t) is 0.2, and marginal propensity to import (mpm )is 0.14, then the multiplier is: a) 4 b) 2 c) 3 d) 2.33 Your answer: Explanation: le 8. Given the value of the multiplier you got from question 7, if the government wanted to raise the equilibrium GDP by 100, it could: a) Raise only G by $100 b) Raise both G and T by 50 c) Raise only...
Marginal Propensity to Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) Save (MPS) Multiplier (m) 0.92 10 0.85 0.20 23). a). In the above table, what is the value of the marginal propensity to consume MPC) that correctly fills in blank (G) and the value of the income multiplier that correctly fills in blank (H)? Page 9 b)When the MPC increases, the income/spending multiplier (increases or decreas es). If MPC decreases? 17)Draw an AD and SRAS graph and label the axis, lines and...
The multiplier is equal to Multiple Choice Ο 1- Marginal propensity to save Ο Marginal propensity to save + Marginal propenstyto consume Ο C) 1. Marginal propensity to save. Ο C) 1 - Marginal propensity to consume.
