Answer:
(a) As the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) increases, the spending multiplier Increases.
(b) Multiplier is 3.30.
(c) Total impact on spending is $3,300.
Explanation:
(a) As the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) increases, the spending multiplier: Increases, decreases, stays the same.
In economics, the higher the MPC, the higher the spending multiplier.
Therefore, as the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) increases, the spending multiplier Increases.
(b) If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.70, then, assuming there are no taxes or imports, the multiplier is: (Note: round to the nearest tenth).
This can be calculated as follows:
Multiplier = 1 / (1 - MPC) = 1 / (1 - 0.70) = 1 / 0.30 = 3.33333333333333
Rounding to the nearest tenth, we have:
Multiplier = 3.30
(c) Given the multiplier that you calculated, what is the total impact on spending when there is a $1,000 increase in government spending?
Total impact on spending = Increase in government spending * Multiplier = $1,000 * 3.30 = $3,300
The spending multiplier rises as the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) rises. 3.30 is the multiplier. The total financial impact is $3,300.
What is the total impact on spending?
(a) The spending multiplier grows, declines, or remains constant when the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) increases.
The higher the MPC, the higher the spending multiplier in economics.
As a result, the spending multiplier rises as the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) rises.
(b) If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.70, the multiplier is: assuming no taxes or imports (Note: round to the nearest tenth).
Computation:
[tex]\text{Multiplier} = 1 / (1 - MPC) \\= 1 / (1 - 0.70) \\= 1 / 0.30 \\= 3.33333333333333[/tex]
If we round to the nearest tenth, we get: a 3.30 multiplier
(c) Given the multiplier you computed, what is the total impact on spending when government spending is increased by $1,000?
[tex]\text{Total impact on spending = Increase in government spending} \text{ x } \text{Multiplier}\\ = $1,000 \text { x } 3.30 = $3,300[/tex]
