Answer D 3
Explanation
Multiplier = 1/MPS
MPS = 1 - MPC = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3
Multiplier = 1/(1/3) = 3

The open economy multiplier is calculated as follows: A. 1/[1minus−(marginal propensity to consume + marginal propensity to invest)] B. 1/[1minus−(marginal propensity to consume + marginal propensity to import)] C. 1/[1minus−(marginal propensity to consume + marginal propensity to invest + marginal propensity to import)] D. 1/[1minus−(marginal propensity to consume + marginal propensity to invest minus− marginal propensity to import)]
What are the marginal propensity to consume and marginal propensity to save and the multiplier? What is that money is neutral in the long run but not in the short run?
All else equal, how would an increase in the tax rate affect the government purchases multiplier? A. It increases the multiplier only if the marginal propensity to consume if the MPC is greater than the tax rate. B. It has no effect. C. It increases the multiplier only if the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is less than the tax rate. D. It increases the government purchases multiplier. E. It decreases the government purchases multiplier.
If the marginal propensity to consume equals 0.75 the tax rate equals 0.25 and the marginal propensity to import equals 0.10 what is the value of the government purchases multiplier?
Exhibit 10-9 Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS) Multiplier (m) 0.92 (A) (B) (C) (D) 10 0.85 (E) (F) (G) 0.20 (H) Refer to Exhibit 10-9. What is the value of the marginal propensity to save (MPS) that would correctly fill in blank (E) and the multiplier that would correctly fill in blank (F)? 0.012; 0.83 0.12; 88 0.15; 15 0.15; 6.67
If the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) increases... A. The MPS increases B. The multiplier decreases C. MPC +MPS is less than 1 D. THe multiplier increases
Suppose the marginal propensity to consume is 0.7 and the government votes to increase taxes by $1.5 billion. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary. Assume the tax rate and the marginal propensity to import are 0. Calculate the tax multiplier tax multiplier:-2.3 Calculate the resulting change in the equilibrium quantity of real GDP demanded -3.5 billion
An increase in the marginal propensity to consume Select one: a increases the multiplier, so that changes in government expenditures have a larger effect on aggregate demand. b. decreases the multiplier, so that changes in government expenditures have a larger effect on aggregate demand. C. increases the multiplier, so that changes in government expenditures have a smaller effect on aggregate demand. d. decreases the multiplier, so that changes in government expenditures have a smaller effect on aggregate demand. If many...
Assuming there is no trade, if the Marginal Propensity to Consume is 0.80 and the government increases spending by $8 billion, by how much will output rise? Select one: a. By $24 billion b. By $40 billion c. By $48 billion d. By $52 billion e. By $60 billion
