Question

Refer to the below diagram for a private and closed economy aggregate expenditure model.

a. The investment in this economy is equal to __________________

b. The equilibrium level of GDP is ____________________

c. MPC in this economy is equal to ______________________

d. The size of the multiplier in this economy is equal to ______________________

e. Suppose the potential GDP in this economy is $900 billion.

(i) The amount of savings at the potential GDP is ________________

(ii) The size of the GDP gap is __________________

(iii) The size of expenditure gap is _____________________

(iv) The type of gap observed in this economy is _________________

Keeping consumption constant, the change in investment required to fill the gap is _________________

$1000 C +I $800 $600 O $400 $200 0 $200 $400 $600 $800 S$1000 GDP

Explanation / Answer

A.

Investment in the economy = $100

B.

Equilibrium level of GDP = $600

C.

MPC = (400-300)/(400-200) = 100/200 = .5

D.

Size of the multiplier = 1/(1-MPC) = 1/(1-.5) = 2
