Answer:
a. The real GDP increases by $200,000.
a. The real GDP increases by $150,000.
Explanation:
a. What is the eventual effect on real GDP if the government increases its purchases of goods and services by $50,000?
Eventual effect on real GDP = Amount of increase in government spending * (1 /(1 - MPC)) = $50,000 * (1 / (1 – 0.75)) = $200,000
Therefore, the real GDP increases by $200,000.
a. What is the eventual effect on real GDP if the government, instead of changing its spending, increases transfers by $50,000?
Eventual effect on real GDP = (Amount of increase in government transfers * (1 /(1 - MPC))) - Amount of increase in government transfers = ($50,000 * (1 / (1 – 0.75))) - $50,000 = $150,000
Therefore, the real GDP increases by $150,000.
