When the multiplier is 4, it means that an increase in government spending by $1 will increase the aggregate demand by $1*4 = $4. This means that with an increase in government expenditure by $1, the aggregate demand curve shifts right by $4.
So a $15 billion increase in government expenditure will increase the aggregate demand by
4*15 billion
= $60 billion.
Hence the aggregate demand curve will shift to the right by $60 billion. So option 4 is the correct answer.

Suppose the economy's multiplier is 2. Other things equal, a $25 billion decrease in government expenditures on national defense will cause equilibrium GDP to Multiple Choice decrease by $50 billion. remain unchanged since spending on military goods is unproductive and usually wasteful. decrease by $150 billion. decrease by $25 billion.
For the following problems, use the information provided to determine which direction the AD will shift and by how much the AD curve will shift. 7. Assume the MPC is 0.75. Assuming only the multiplier effect matters, a decrease in government purchases of $100 billion will shift the aggregate demand curve to the 8. Assume the multiplier is 5 and that the crowding-out effect is $20 billion. An increase in government purchases of $10 billion will shift the aggregate-demand curve...
Suppose that Congress and the President are considering an increase in government expenditures of $50 billion. They consult with two economists: Alan and Robert. Alan believes that the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.9 and Robert believes that it is 0.5 If Alan is correct, then the increase in government spending will cause GDP to increase by ____, and if Robert is correct, then the government spending increase will cause GDP to increase by ____ (B) A. $450 billion,...

Inflationary pressure in the AS-AD model can be shown as a leftward shift of the AD curve when the economy is already producing at its potential GDP. supply shock that shifts the AS to the right. rightward shift of the AD curve when the economy is already producing at its potential GDP. Typically, if consumer and business confidence is high then ________ and if consumer and business confidence is low then ________. AD shifts to the left; AD shifts to...
In the AD–AS diagram, an increase in money supply growth causes: a shift of the aggregate demand curve to the left. a shift of the aggregate demand curve to the right. a downward movement along the aggregate demand curve. an upward movement along the aggregate demand curve.
QUESTION 4 With an upward-sloping aggregate supply curve, real output can be increased to the full employment output level if: O A Government expenditures are increased by the amount of the GDP gap. O B. Government expenditures are increased by the amount of the AD shortfall. C. Aggregate demand is increased by the amount of the GDP gap. o D. Govenment expenditures are increased by the amount of the AD shortfall divided by the multiplier QUESTION 5 To eliminate an...
If the price level decreases, then aggregate demand increase along the AD curve but the curve doesn’t shift. a. True b. False The Long-run Aggregate Supply Curve (LRAS) can shift to the right because of: a. Discovery of more natural resources b. Development of more efficient technology c. Inviting more labor force through Immigration d. All of the above Which of the following may happen due to a crash in the stock market: a. AD curve may shift to the...
If an economy is in a recession and the government opts for an expansionary fiscal policy to shift the AD curve closer to the potential output, a sound finance economist with a Classical view, who holds the Ricardian equivalence theorem to be practically true, would conclude that the AD curve: Multiple Choice shifts to the right due to higher government spending. shifts to the left due to higher government spending. does not shift since the higher government spending is offset...
