there are 2 pictures

15) 15) When graphing the consumption function, we include a 45-degree ce line. What is true at the points at which the consumption function crosses this line? A) Planned real saving is zero. B) Real GDP is zero. C) Real disposable income is zero. D) Planned real consumption spending is zero. 2.0 20 25 Real National hoomo por Year (S trillons) 16) In the above figure, the equilibrium level of real GDP is equal to 16 A) $2.0 trillion C) $3.0 trillion. B) $2.5 trillion D) $4.0 trilion. 17) The larger the value of the MPS A) the larger is the value of the MPC B) the smaller is the value of the multiplier C) the larger is the value of the multiplier D) the larger is the value of autonomous consumption. 18) How do increases in the price level affect the position of the C+G 18) X curve and in turn the equilibrium level of real GDP?

Explanation / Answer

(15) (A)

When Consumption line intersects 450 line, planned savings are zero because consumption equals income.

(16) (D)

Equilibrium is when (C + I + G + X) line intersects 450 line, with real GDP of $4 trillion.

(17) (B)

Multiplier = 1 / MPS

The higher the MPS, the lower the multiplier.

(18) (D)

Higher price level lowers consumption, shifting (C + I + G +X) line downward and lowering real GDP.

(19) (C)

(13) (C)

As interest rate rises (falls), planned investment falls (rises).

(14) (D)

Autonomous consumption is vertical intercept of consumption line.
