If the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) in your classmate's nation is 3/5 and the marginal propensity to save (MPS) in your country is 1/10, which of the following must be true?
a. |
Autonomous consumption is lower in your classmate's nation than in your country. |
|
b. |
Autonomous consumption is higher in your classmate's nation than in your country. |
|
c. |
The spending multiplier is smaller in your classmate's nation than in your country. |
|
d. |
Total consumption is lower in your classmate's nation than in your country. |
|
e. |
The spending multiplier is larger in your classmate's nation than in your country. |
ANSWER:
The correct answer is option c that is The spending multiplier is smaller in your classmate's nation than in your country.
spending multiplier of classmate nation = 1 / mps = 1 / (1 - mpc) = 1 / ( 1 - 3 / 5) = 1 / (2 / 5) = 2.5
spendimg multiplier in my country = 1 / mps = 1 / (1/10) = 10

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)?

ue or false. MPC+ MPS 1 o True O False Correct. Marginal propensity to consume plus marginal propensity to save equals 1. of aggregate expenditure is 5 MPcio 8 when the MPC is.8 and there is an increase in investment spending of $100,000. x Incorrect. First determine the expenditure multiplier, then multiply that by $100,000 to obtain the correct answer True or false. If people save more of their income, the expenditure multiplier will not decrease and aggregate expenditures will...
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
a) If the saving function is given by S° = 0.03Y^2 - 2Y + 150Calculate the values of marginal propensity to save (MPS) and marginal propensity to consume (MPC) when Y=40.
The following table shows alternative hypothetical economies and the relevant values for the marginal propensity to consume out of disposable income (MPC), the net tax rate (t), and the marginal propensity to import (m). a. Recall that z, the marginal propensity to spend out of national income, is given by the simple expression Z-MPC(1-1)-m. By using this expression, compute z and the simple multiplier for each of the economies and fill in the table. (Round your response to two decimal...
1. If the MPS = 0.2, then the multiplier equals: * 4 5 9 10 2. Suppose that a financial crisis decreases investment spending by $200 billion and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75. Assuming no taxes and no trade, real GDP will _____ by _____. decrease; $500 billion decrease; $200 billion decrease; $800 billion increase; $400 billion 3. An increase in the marginal propensity to consume: increases the multiplier. shifts the autonomous investment line upward. decreases the multiplier....
10.) An economy has a marginal propensity to consume and Y* , income-expenditure equilibrium GDP, equals $500 billion. Given an autonomous increase in plannėd investment of $10 billion, show the rounds of increased spending that take place by completing the accompanying table. The first and second rows are filled in for you. In the first row the increase of planned investment spending of $10 billion raises real GDP and YD by $10 billion, leading to an increase in consumer spending...
5. An increase in the marginal propensity to consume from 0.6 to 0.8 will cause (a) the ZZ line to become steeper and a given change in autonomous consumption to have a smaller effect on output (b) the ZZ line to become flatter and a given change in autonomous consumption to have a smaller effect on output (c) the ZZ line to become steeper and a given change in autonomous consumption to have a larger effect on output (d) the...
