Fill in the blanks. Find the equilibrium GDP. 2. Calculate the MPC and the multiplier. 3. If the government wants to set a new equilibrium at 12000 by how much it needs to increase the government expenditure?

Expert Solution

1) The equilibrium GDP is 10000 when inventory is equal to 0.

GDP/ Income Consumption Investment Government expenditure Exports Imports Aggregate Expenditure Inventories GDP will
8400

6800

1200 1000 400 600 8800 -400 not be in equilibrium
9200 7400 1200 1000 400 600 9400 -200 not be in equilibrium
10000 8000 1200 1000 400 600 10000 0 be in equilibrium
10800 8600 1200 1000 400 600 10600 200 not be in equilibrium
11600 9200 1200 1000 400 600 11200 400 not be in equilibrium

2)

MPC =change in consumption/change in income

= (9200 - 6800)/(11600 -8400)

= 0.75

Now, Multiplier = 1/(1-MPC)

= 1/(1-0.75)

= 4

3) If the government wants to being new equilibrium to 12,000 it has to increase government expenditure by 500.

This is because we know that multiplier is 4 and earlier equilibrium is 10,000

i.e change in Income = 12000- 10000

= 2000

And change in income / change in investment = multiplier

OR 2000/change in investment = 4

OR change in investment = 2000/4

= 500.
