How does the size of the Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) affect the size of the multiplier ?

Group of answer choices

There is NO RELATIONSHIP between the two.

MPC * the Multiplier = 1

The multiplier becomes SMALLER as MPC becomes larger.

MPC + the Multiplier = 1

The multiplier becomes LARGER as MPC becomes larger.

How does the size of the Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS) affect the size of the multiplier ?

Group of answer choices

There is NO RELATIONSHIP between the two.

The multiplier becomes LARGER as MPS becomes larger.

The multiplier becomes SMALLER as MPS becomes larger.

MPS + the Multiplier = 1

MPS * the Multiplier = 1

Homework Answers

Answer #1

Ques) What is the formula for Average propensity to consume?

Ans.) Formula for APC is - Consumption divided by income.

Average propensity to consume (APC) is Consumption divided by income. We can say consumption share out of income.

Ques) How does the size of Marginal propensity to consume affect the size of multiplier ?

Ans : The multiplier becomes Larger as MPC becomes larger.

As much as value of MPC becomes larger multiplier value will be larger. We know that Multiplier = 1/1-MPC , if MPC becomes larger (1- MPC) will be lower. As (1- MPC ) will be lower (1/1-MPC ) will be larger.

Ques) How does the size of the Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS) affect the size of Multiplier ?

Ans: The multiplier becomes SMALLER as MPS becomes larger.

If value MPS becomes lower then multiplier will be larger. Multiplier value = 1/1-MPC = 1/MPS , (as MPC + MPS = 1). Therefore as MPS becomes lower 1/MPS = Multiplier will be larger.

Ques). What is the formula for the multiplier associated with investment ?

Ans). 1/MPS.

Formula of Multiplier associated with investment is 1/1- MPC = 1/MPS.

Ques) What is the relationship between tax rate multiplier and government spending multiplier ?

Ans). In absolute terms, government spending multiplier is larger.

Government spending multiplier is larger than tax multiplier. Because we know with MPC , government expenditure multiplier is 1/1- MPC but absolute value of tax multiplier is MPC/1-MPC. As there is MPC multiplied numerator which is less than 1 i.e why tax multiplier will be lower.

Ques) According to Keynes, what determines autonomous level of business investment?

Ans). Animal spirits.

Ques) Crowding out refers to -

Ans). An increase in government spending drive out private investment.

Crowding out is a situation where part of government expenditure effect are drive out by decrease in private investment expenditure. When government takes expansionary fiscal policy then the effect of this increase are reduced or sometimes eliminated by decrease in investment expenditure due to higher interest rate.

Ques) If investment increases by $200, and MPC = 0.6 then what will be change in equilibrium income?

Ans). Change in equilibrium income will be equal to

(1/1-MPC) * change in investment

= (1/1-0.6)*$200 = (1/0.4)*$200 = 2.5*200 = $500

Ans. + $500.

Ques) Suppose taxes increased by $300 and MPC = 0.75 , what will be change in equilibrium income ?

Ans) Change in equilibrium income = (- MPC/1- MPC)*$300 = - 0.75/1-0.75 = (-0.75/0.25)*$300 = -3*300 = -$900.

Ans) - $900.
