30. Refer to the diagram below to answer the question that follows: Figure 1: Aggregate Expenditure model AE 45° line AE0 AE1 0 Yo Y1 Income In Figure 1 above, the move from AEo to AE1 can be explained by a: A. larger marginal propensity to import for AE0 and a decrease in exports. B. larger marginal propensity to import for AE0 and an increase in exports. C. smaller marginal propensity to import for AE0 and a decrease in investment. D. smaller marginal propensity to import for AE0 and an increase in autonomous consumption. E. larger marginal propensity to import for AE0 only.

The slope of the aggregate expenditure curve increases when the marginal propensity to consume or the marginal propensity to import increases; decreases.

The Y-axis is labeled Real Aggregate Expenditure (AE), and the X-axis is labeled Real GDP (Y). The 45° line starts at the origin and rises to the right at a 45° angle. The 45° line is labeled Y=AE. One aggregate expenditure line, labeled AE1, starts at a point on the Y-axis and rises to the right with a slope that is less steep than the 45° line. AE1 has three points on it, labeled from left to right A, B, and C. Point B is where AE1 intersects the 45° line. Point A is closer to the Y-axis than Point B, while Point C is farther from the Y-axis than Point B. If the economy is at point A, what will happen? Group of answer choices Inventories have risen above their desired level, and firms increase production. Inventories have fallen below their desired level, and firms increase production. Inventories have risen above their desired level, and firms decrease production. Inventories have fallen below their desired level, and firms decrease production.

The Y-axis is labeled Real Aggregate Expenditure (AE), and the X-axis is labeled Real GDP (Y). The 45° line starts at the origin and rises to the right at a 45° angle. The 45° line is labeled Y=AE. Two aggregate expenditure lines, labeled AE1 and AE2, start at different points on the Y-axis and run parallel to each other across the graph. AE1 is below AE2. They both have a slight incline as they move to the right, but the lines are less steep than the 45° degree line. AE1 has three points on it, labeled from left to right A, B, and C. Point B is where AE1 intersects the 45° line. Point A is closer to the Y-axis than Point B, while Point C is farther from the Y-axis than Point B. The AE2 line above only has one point labeled, Point D, which marks the intersection of the AE2 line and the 45° line. If the U.S. economy is currently at point B, holding all else constant, which of the following could cause it to move to point D? Group of answer choices Households expect future income to decline. Government expenditures increase. The real interest rate increases. Firms expect their future cash flow to fall.
