Solution:
18. When the income in US increases, people will import more as with higher income their expenditure for goods will increase (for both, domestic as well as foreign goods). As net exports = exports - imports, when imports imports increase, net exports must decrease.
Thus, the correct option is (B).
19. Equilibrium GDP = (1/(1 - MPC))*autonomous expenditure
So, increase in equilibrium GDP = (1/(1 - MPC))*increase in autonomous expenditure
As the government expenditure is directly one-to-one related with autonomous expenditure, increase of $10 billion in government expenditure increases autonomous expenditure by $10 billion.
So, increase in equilibrium GDP = (1/(1 - 0.75))*10b = 4*10b = 40b
Thus, the correct option is (D).

The economy is in equilibrium, TP = TE, and Real GDP is $2,000 billion. The MPC is 0.75, the multiplier is operative, and idle resources exist at each expenditure round. Autonomous investment spending falls by $10 billion. As a result, the TE curve shifts __________, inventory levels unexpectedly __________, business firms __________ the quantity of goods and services they produce, and Real GDP __________ by __________. downward; rise; decrease; falls; $7.5 billion downward; fall; increase; rises; $40 billion downward; rise;...

7. If consumption increases by $400 Billion and incomes increase by $500 Billion in a year, what can we say about the marginal propensity to consume? 8. If the dollar were to strengthen against other world currencies, explain the effect this would have on net exports. 9. With an MPC of.9, what would the change in GDP be if Government Spending increased by $500 Million?
EXERCISE 1:TRUE OR FALSE 1. If the dollar appreciates relative to foreign currencies, we would expect a country's net exports to fall. If government decreases its purchases by $20 billion and the MPC is 0.8, equilibrium GDP will decrease by $100 billion. When a private closed economy is at equilibrium, then (GDP-C) is equal to planned investment. If planned investment is larger than saving, then real GDP will increase as the economy adjusts toward equilibrium. 5. Positive net exports increase...
The net export function illustrates that:A) net exports are a positive function of domestic income.B) net exports are independent of domestic income.C) net exports are a negative function of domestic income.D) imports are independent of domestic income.E) exports are independent of foreign income. Suppose the marginal propensity to import for country A is 0.4. Calculate the change in total value of imports of the country if national income increases by $100,000.A) $16,000B) $20,000C) $60,000D) $40,000E) $25,000 An MPI of 0.4 indicates that...
