25. Suppose the marginal propensity to consume is 0.63, the marginal propensity to import equals 0.08, and personal income taxes amount to 9 percent of GDP. The spending multiplier for this economy is equal to _____. a. 0.54 b. 0.80 c. 1.25 d. 1.41 e. 1.85
Spending Multiplier=[1/(1−MPC×(1−tax rate)+MPI)]
Spending Multiplier = [1/(1-0.63*(1-0.09)+0.08)]
Spending Multiplier = 1/ 0.5067
Spending Multiplier = 1.973

Q. How do the marginal propensity to consume, the marginal propensity to import and the income tax ratio influence the multiplier? How do fluctuation in autonomous expenditure influence real GDP?
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
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...
. The marginal propensity to consume in a city is 0.7 and the marginal propensity to import is 0.1. A team proposes a new stadium construction project that will generate $6 million in spending. A. Using multiplier effects, how much will the project generate in total? B. Why is it likely that the actual increase in new income will be much smaller?
Assuming that marginal propensity to consume is not zero, and that the balanced budget multiplier is positive, a decrease in lump-sum personal income taxes will most likely result in an increase in real GDP because which of the following must occur? I. Government spending decreases to maintain a balanced budget. II. Consumption spending increases because disposable personal income increases III. Investment spending decreases because disposable personal income increases O I only III only II only 0 I and III only
Consider two economies, A and B. Economy A has a marginal propensity to consume of 0.9, a net tax rate of 0.3 and a marginal propensity to import of 0.3. Economy B has a marginal propensity to consume of 0.9, a net tax rate of 0.1 and a marginal propensity to import of 0.3. Suppose there is an increase in autonomous investment of $5 billion in each of these economies. Which of the following statements is true? Group of answer...
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...
If the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) equals 0.25 and the government increases spending by $600 billion, the total impact on GDP will be approximately:
Suppose that an economy has an income of $20,000 with a marginal propensity to consume of 0.5. What is the multiplier? Give your answer to two decimals.
Suppose the marginal propensity to consume if 0.75 and autonomous consumption (consumption at zero income) is $4,000. If income is $50,000, consumption spending is a. $37,500 b. $41,500 C. $45,500 d. $54,000 QUESTION 4 If the consumption function for an economy is C = 180 + 75 Yd (disposable income) and spending increases by $800, then the resulting change in national income is a. +$2,800 OOO b. 5-3,200 c. $-2,800 d. $+3,200 QUESTION 5 Assume the actual GDP is $4800...
