Instructions: Round your answers to one decimal place. a. The marginal propensity to consume (MPc) 0.2. The change in GDP is $ billion. b. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) 0.5. The change in GDP is $ billion. int c. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) 0.8. ences The change in GDP is $ billion. d. Comment on the relationship between the MPC and the resulting change in GDP-as the MPC rises, does its effect on GDP increase or decrease? As the MPC rises, its effect on GD (Click to select) stays the same increases decreases

Explanation / Answer

Answer:-When the government increases its spending, the change in gdp is given as-

Change in GDP = Increased spending[1/(1-MPC)

Answer A:- SO when MPC =0.2

Change in GDP = Increased spending[1/(1-MPC) = 250*(1/1-0.2)=250*1.25 =$312.5 billion

Answer B:- SO when MPC =0.5

Change in GDP = Increased spending[1/(1-MPC) = 250*(1/1-0.5)=250*2 =$500 billion

Answer C:- SO when MPC =0.8

Change in GDP = Increased spending[1/(1-MPC) = 250*(1/1-0.8)=250*5 =$1250 billion

Answer D:- MPC rises , its effect on GDP increases

Answer:- Government taxation multiplier = -(MPC*Spending multiplier)

A:- When MPC=0.2, taxation multiplier =1.25

Taxation multiplier =-(0.2*1.25)=-2.5

B:- When MPC=0.5, taxation multiplier =2

Taxation multiplier =-(0.5*2)=-1

C:- When MPC=0.8, taxation multiplier =5

Taxation multiplier =-(0.8*5)=-4

D:- Correct option:- Changes in government spending will have a bigger effect on GDP and income than will changes in tax

Answer:- When the taxes decreases the change in gdp is given as-

A:- When MPC=0.2

Change in GDP = 93.8±0.05

B:- When MPC=0.2

Change in GDP = 375±0.02

C:- When MPC=0.8

Change in GDP = 1500±0.02
