Discuss the options used by fiscal policy to stabilize the

Explanation / Answer

Question 1

A. MPC is .70, therefore, MPS= 1-0.70= .3. Increase in investment is $3 billion. Multiplier = 1/MPS=1/.3= 3.33 x 3 billion = $10 billion

Question 2

C0 2.5. MPC=.6, therefore MPS=.4. Multiplier = 1/MPS= 1/.4=2.5

Question 3.

C) $ 6 billion. MPC=2/3, thefore MPS=1/3 . Multiplier = 1/MPS= 1/1/3= 3. Increases in investments = $2 billion. Level of GDP will increase by $6 billion ($2 billion x 3).

D) Discuss the options used by fiscal policy to stabilize the economy

The options for stabilizing the economy are government spending and taxation. The objective of fiscal policy is to balance the budget.
