Question 5 I Consider the macroeconomic data shown below for a hypothetical country's economy. Complete the table Disposable Desired Income (YD) Consumption (C) Desired Savings (S) APC APS MPC MPS 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 150 225 300 375 450 525 600 675 750
The consumption function is given by the equation: C = 400 + 0.8(Yd) where C = consumption and Yd = disposable income. Currently, the level of disposable income is $5000. What is the current level of consumption? What is the current level of saving? What is the MPC? What is the MPS? Calculate the APC and the APS. 6. We are given the following information about the levels of disposable income and savings: Disposable Income Consumption Savings APC APS MPC...
Suppose that disposable income, consumption, and saving in some country are $800 billion, $700 billion, and $100 billion, respectively. Next, assume that disposable income increases by $80 billion, corisumption rises by $56 blillion, and saving goes up by $24 billion. a. What is the economy's MPC? Instructions: Round your answers to 2 decimal places MPC= What Is its MPS? MPS b. What was the APC before the increase in disposable income? Instructions: Round your answer to 2 decimal places. APC...
For a hypothetical economy, suppose the consumption equation is C = 30 + 0.65Y, where C is households’ consumption and Y is disposable income. If the disposable income is $600, carefully show your steps and calculate: The levels of (i) consumption and (ii) saving. The marginal propensity to (i) consume and (ii) save. The average propensity to (i) consume and (ii) save. Interpret your estimates in (c).
5. Graphing the consumption function from the MPC Consider a hypothetical economy in which the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.50. That is, if disposable income increases by $1, consumption increases by 50¢. Suppose further that last year disposable income in the economy was $400 billion and consumption was $350 billion. On the following graph, use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot this economy's consumption function based on these data. Consumption Function CONSUMPTION (Billions of dollars) 0 800...
Suppose you have the following information about a fictitious economy. Assume there are no taxes in this economy. Disposable Income and Consumption Disposable Income (dollars) Consumption (dollars) $0 $9,000 8,500 15,500 18,500 22,000 28,500 28,500 38,500 35,000 48,500 41,500 Instructions: In parts a and c, enter your answers as a whole number. In part b, round your answers to two decimal places. a. What is the equilibrium level of consumption? $_________ b. What is the MPC and MPS for this...
The table below shows the after-tax income and consumption spending for a nation. a. Calculate the dollar amount of savings, the marginal propensity to consurfe (MPC), and the marginal propensity to save (MPS) for each level of income. Instructions: Enter your answers for savings as a whole number. Round your answers for MPC and MPS to two decimal places. After-Tax Income and Consumption Spending Consumption Spending (dollars) $9,540 After-Tax Income (dollars) $18,700 Savings (dollars) MPC MPS $ 23,640 13,860 19,180...
The following table provides data for output (real GDP) and saving. a. Fill in the missing numbers (gray-shaded cells) in the table. Instructions: In the table, round your answers to 3 decimal places. If you are entering any negative numbers be sure to include a negative sign (-) in front of those numbers. Level of Output and Income (GDP = DI) Level output and consumption Saving Saving APC APC APS APS 8 $240 260 280 300 320 340 360 380...
2. Consider the following data table for a hypothetical economy. Aggregate Consumption Personal Planned Aggregate Aggregate Income Expenditure Saving Investment Expenditure Equilibrium 0 100 20 100 180 200 260 300 340 400 420 500 500 600 580 700 660 Complete the table Calculate and interpret MPC and MPS Write the equation of Consumption Function Determine the equilibrium level of Aggregate Income, Consumption Expenditure, and Personal Saving Calculate the Multiplier Calculate the change...
ADVANCED ANALYSIS Assume that the consumption schedule for a private open economy is such that consumption is:C = 100+ 0.8Y Assume further that planned investment lo and net exports Xn are independent of the level of real GDP and constant at lg = 60 and Xn = 10. Government spending (G) is equal to $0. Recall also that, in equilibrium, the real output produced (y) is equal to aggregate expenditures: Y=C+Ig+G+Xn nstructions: Round your answers to the nearest whole number. a. What is the...
