If the mpc is 0.75, and government spending and taxes both rise by $100, then equilibrium output
Added by Carol A.
Step 1
In this case, both ΔG and ΔT are $100, so ΔAD = $100 + $100 = $200. Show more…

Suppose an economy has an MPC equal to 0.75. If the government wants to increase discretionary spending by $25 billion by increasing taxes by the same amount, what is the slope of the savings schedule in this economy? What is the multiplier in this economy? What is the effect of an increase in government spending on the economy's GDP? What is the effect of an increase in taxes on the economy's GDP?
Oluwadamilola A.
Assume that the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75. The government wishes to increase the equilibrium gross domestic product by $100 million. This can be achieved either by increasing government spending or decreasing taxes. Calculate the multiplier effect and necessary increase in government spending?
Azat N.
If the MPC is 3/5, then the multiplier is a. 2.5, so a $100 increase in government spending increases aggregate demand by $250. b. 4, so a $100 increase in government spending increases aggregate demand by $400. c. 1.5, so a $100 increase in government spending increases output by $150. d. 1.67, so a $100 increase in government spending increases output by $166.67.
