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...
Would someone explain to me how to get the answers, please. I need the graphs plotted, the blue box answer, and the fill in the blanks answered. Below are the options. Options for the first graph it says: From the preceding data, you know that the level of saving in the economy was ($140 billion, $20 billion, $0 billion, $100 billion) and the marginal propensity to save in the economy is (0.6, 0.8, 0.1, 0.2) Options for the second graph...
Consider the following numerical example of the simple Keynesian model: C = 420 +.6YD IP = 90 G= 100 T= 100 NX = 50 where YD = disposable income (Income minus net taxes) T = net taxes i.e., taxes minus transfers) Assume that all of the above variables are measured in billions of dollars per year, and refer to real variables (i.e. adjusted for any inflation that might be happening). For example, the equation for consumption tells us that real...

The algebra of tax multipliers Consider a small country that is closed to trade, so its net exports are equal to zero. The following equations describe the economy of this country in billions of dollars, where C is consumption, DI is disposable income, I is investment, and G is government purchases: C= 30 + 0.5 x DI G= 40 I = 70 Initially, this economy had a lump sum tax. Suppose net taxes were $30 billion, so that disposable income was equal to Y -...
Question 8 (1 point) Table 4.27 Net national income $1,000 Retained earnings not paid as dividends Transfer payments Interest on government bonds Personal taxes The components of national income for an economy are represented in Table 4.27 above. All values are in billions of dollars. Refer to Table 4.27. What is the level of household income for this economy? 1) $990 billion 2) $1,010 billion 3) $860 billion 4) $1,140 billion 5) $590 billion
Consider a small country that is closed to trade, so its net exports are equal to zero. The following equations describe the economy of this country in billions of dollars, where C is consumption, DI is disposable income, I is investment, and G is government purchases:C=100+0.75×DI G= 50 I=80 Initially, this economy had a lump sum tax. Suppose net taxes were $40 billion, so that disposable income was equal to Y – 40, where Y is real GDP. In this...
Consider two closed economies that are identical except for their marginal propensity to consume (MPC). Each economy is currently in equilibrium with real income and planned expenditure equal to $100 billion, as shown by the black points on the following two graphs. Neither economy has taxes that change with income. The grey lines show the 45-degree line on each graph.The first economy's MPC is 0.5. Therefore, its initial planned expenditure line has a slope of 0.5 and passes through the...
