The multiplier effect can correct the economy. An increase in equilibrium output is created by:
|
An increase in investment and an increase in spending
|
What is the spending multiplier?
|
1 / (1-MPC)
|
If the value of the MPC is .5 what is the value of the spending multiplier?
|
2
|
If the MPC is .8 what is the spending multiplier?
|
5
|
If MPC is .75 a 50 billion dollar decrease in government spending would cause equilibrium output to:
|
Decrease by 200 million
|
If the MPC is .9, a 100 billion dollar increase in planned investment expenditure, other things being equal, will cause an increase in equilibrium output of:
|
1,000 billion
