Answer:

The government should increase spending in an upward direction by $80 billion.

Explanation:

The output of the economy is = $400 billion.

Given marginal propensity to consume = 4/5  or 0.8

Now use the fiscal multiplier method

ΔY/ΔG = 1/1-MPC

To increase output (Y) by 400 billion, so ΔY = 5. MPC = .8

Now, we have to insert this information into the equation and find the value of ΔG

400/ΔG = 1/1-.8

400/ΔG = 1/.2

400/ΔG = 5

400 = 5*ΔG

80 = ΔG

The government should increase spending by $80 billion.

saul85 [17]

Answer:

ABC has a gain of $145,000 and Andre's dividend income is $130,000

Explanation:

Property ABC issued, has the following:

fair market value = $350,000

Adjusted basis = $205,000

Liability = $220,000

Calculate ABC's Corporation gain:

Gain = market value - Adjusted basis

= $350,000 - $205,000

= $145,000

ABC has a gain of $145,000

Calculate Andre's dividend income since he is the sole shareholder:

Dividend earnings = fair market value - liability

= $350,000 - $220,000

= $130,000

Andre's dividend income is $130,000

Correct option is D.

With respect to distribution, ABC has a gain of $145,000 and Andre's dividend income is $130,000

In the short run, an increase in the aggregate price level caused by a shift in the aggregate demand curve first causes:
ra1l [238]

Answer: b. movement along SRAS

Explanation:

When the price level changes due to an increase in the demand that forces the Aggregate demand curve to shift rightward, the immediate effect would be that the Aggregate demand curve would intersect the Short Run Aggregate supply at a new point.

This new point will see a movement <em>along </em>the SRAS from its previous equilibrium point to the new equilibrium intersection point with the AD curve. In other words, the new point will be on the same SRAS curve just moving from one point to another.
