Get started for freeAssume that the multiplier in a country is equal to and that autonomous real consumption spending istrillion. If current real GDP istrillion, what is the current value of real consumption spending?
At an initial point on the aggregate demand carve, the price level is, and real GDP istrillion. After the price level rises to , however, there is an upward movement along the aggregate demand curve, and real GDP declines to trillion. If total planned spending declined by billion in response to the increase in the price level, what is the marginal propensity to consume in this economy?
According to Kegnesian theory, what should have determined the actual amount of the response of real consumptioa expenditures to the small increase in real ?
Consider the table below when answering the following questions. For this hypothetical economy, the marginal propensity to save is constant at all levels of real , and investment spending is autonomous. There is no government.
a. Complete the table. What is the marginal propensity to save? What is the marginal propensity to consume?
b. Draw a graph of the consumption function. Then add the investment function to obtain .
c. Under the graph of , draw another graph showing the saving and investment curves. Note that the curve crosses the -degree reference line in the upper graph at the same level of realwhere the saving and investment curves cross in the lower graph. (If not, redraw your graphs.) What is this level of real ?
d. What is the numerical value of the multiplier?
e. What is equilibrium real without investment? What is the multiplier effect from the inclusion of investment?
f. What is the average propensity to consume at equilibrium real ?
g. If autonomous investment declines from to , what happens to equilibrium real ?
At an initial point on the aggregate demand curve, the price level is 100, and real GDP is trillion. After the price level rises to 110 , however, there is an upward movement along the aggregate demand curve, and real GDP declines to trillion. If total planned spending declined by billion in response to the increase in the price level, what is the marginal propensity to consume in this economy?
