-If disposable income is $900 billion when the average propensity to consume is 0.

9, it can be
concluded that:
Saving is $90 billion
-Assume that an increase in a household's disposable income from $40,000 to $48,000 leads to an
increase in consumption from $35,000 to $41,000, then the:
Slope of the consumption schedule is .75
-If the consumption schedule is a straight line, it can be concluded that the:
MPC is constant at various levels of income
-Refer to the data above. If disposable income is $550, we would expect consumption to be:

$460

-Refer to the data above. If plotted on a graph, the slope of the consumption schedule would be:

.9

-Refer to the data above. The marginal propensity to save in this economy is:

.1

-Refer to the data above. At the $320 billion level of disposable income, the average propensity to

save is: .075


-With a marginal propensity to save of .4, the marginal propensity to consume will be:
1.0 minus .4.
-As disposable income goes up, the:
average propensity to consume falls.
-A decline in disposable income:
decreases consumption by moving downward along a specific consumption schedule.
-The consumption schedule is such that:
the MPC is constant and the APC declines as income rises.

spend eight-tenths of any increase in his disposable income.
-Suppose a family's consumption exceeds its disposable income. This means that its:

consumption exceeds income.
-Refer to the given data. The marginal propensity to consume is:

increase by $10 billion.
-If, in an economy, a $200 billion increase in consumption spending creates $200 billion of new
income in the first round of the multiplier process and $160 billion in the second round, the marginal
propensity to consume and the multiplier are, respectively:
0.8 and 5.0
-Assume the marginal propensity to consume is 0.8. If consumer spending increases by $20 billion,
then real GDP will:
Increase by $100 billion
-Assume that MPS is 0.4. If spending increases by $8 billion, then real GDP will increase by:
$20 billion
-In the aggregate expenditures model, it is assumed that investment:
Does not change when real GDP changes.

-Refer to the diagram for a private closed economy. At the equilibrium level of GDP, investment and
saving are both:

-Refer to the diagram for a private closed economy. The $400 level of GDP is:

unstable because aggregate expenditures are less than GDP.


-In a private closed economy, when aggregate expenditures exceed GDP:
business inventories will fall.
-Assume that in a private closed economy consumption is $240 billion and investment is $50 billion,
both at the $280 billion level of domestic output. Thus:
unplanned decreases in inventories of $10 billion will occur.
-Refer to the diagram for a private closed economy. The MPC and MPS are:

both .5.
-Suppose that the level of GDP increased by $100 billion in a private closed economy where the
marginal propensity to consume is .5. Aggregate expenditures must have increased by:
$50 billion.
-Other things equal, if a change in the tastes of American consumers causes them to purchase
more foreign goods at each level of U.S. GDP, then:
U.S. real GDP will fall.

increase GDP by $100 billion.
-Assume the MPC is .8. If government were to impose $50 billion of new taxes on household
income, consumption spending would initially decrease by:
$40 billion.
-If a lump-sum income tax of $25 billion is levied and the MPS is .20, the:
consumption schedule will shift downward by $20 billion.
-A $1 increase in government spending on goods and services will have a greater impact on the
equilibrium GDP than will a $1 decline in taxes because:
a portion of a tax cut will be saved.

GDP and taxes remain at zero, the equilibrium GDP:
will rise to $500.

would:
have no effect on the size of the multiplier.

and imposes a lump-sum tax of $100:
equilibrium GDP will now be $350.
