Suppose that an initial $10 billion increase in investment spending expands GDP by $10 billion in the first round of the multipl

ier process. If GDP and consumption both rise by $6 billion in the second round of the process, what is the MPC in this economy? What is the size of the multiplier? If, instead, GDP and consumption both rose by $8 billion in the second round, what would have been the size of the multiplier?

Answer:

If GDP and consumption both rise by $6 billion in the second round of the process, what is the MPC in this economy?

  • MPC = 0.8

What is the size of the multiplier?

  • multiplier = 2.5

If, instead, GDP and consumption both rose by $8 billion in the second round, what would have been the size of the multiplier?

  • multiplier = 5

Explanation:

Since the change in consumption is $6 billion, and the initial expansion in investment was $10 billion, the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) = expansion in consumption / initial expansion = $6 / $10 = 0.6

the economy's multiplier = 1 / (1 - MPC) = 1 / (1 - 0.6) = 1 / 0.4 = 2.5

If both the economy and the GPD had expanded by $8 billion, the MPC = $8 / $10 = 0.8, so the economy's multiplier = 1 / (1 - 0.8) = 1 / 0.2 = 5

Another way to determine the multiplier = 1 / MPS (marginal propensity to save), since MPS = 1 - MPC

14 Miscellaneous administrative

15 Total                                 $525,000.00       $120.00

Selling price per unit = $160

Sales volume = 27,000 units

Sales revenue = $4,320,000 ($160 * 27,000)

Variable production cost = $106 per unit

Total variable production costs = $2,862,000 ($106 * 27,000)

Fixed production cost =                     200,000

Total production cost =                $3,062,000

                                                   Total          Per Unit

Sales revenue =                    $4,320,000    $160

Variable production costs = $2,862,000      106

Variable expenses                     378,000         14

Total variable costs              $3,240,000    $120

Contribution =                       $1,080,000      $40

Contribution margin ratio = 25% ($40/$160 * 100)

Total fixed costs:

Production costs = $200,000

Selling and admin = 325,000

Total fixed costs = $525,000

Break-even point = Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit

= $525,000/$40 = 13,125

Break-even point in dollars = $525,000/25% = $2,100,000
