12 During one period in history, business investment spending dropped and our trade deficit got larger (imports were bigger than exports.) A reason this did not lead to a drop in GDP could have been:

A) consumer spending increased
(Which has make up the decline in business investment spending)

19. Assume the MPE is .75. If the government raises spending by $100 Billion the equilibrium level of GDP should (assuming Keynesian economics):

Value of the multiplier= 1 / (1 - MPE)
(Thus MPE = Marginal propensito of Expenditure or consumption)

Thus in our case it is= 1/(1-.75)= 4 times
Thus it will rise by 100*4= $400 billion
D) rise by $ 400 billion

20. In a period of high unemployment the Fed. would probably:

D) buy bonds through open market operations
This will lead to increase in liquidity and demand in economy. This will help in reducing unemployment.

Fed only deals with monetary policy where as the option E is part of Fiscal policy.
