-Summer 2018/2019 multiplier b. A higher marginal tax rate and a higher marginal propensity to import...
The ________ the marginal propensity to import, the ________ the expenditure multiplier. A. larger; smaller B. smaller; smaller C. larger; more negative D. larger; larger E. None of the above is correct, because the expenditure multiplier is not related to the marginal propensity to import.
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...
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?
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
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
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.
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...
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...
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
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...
