Answer: <em>a. Multiplier = 3.33</em>
<em>b. Stimulation = $2000 billion</em>
Explanation:
In this particular case , it's given:
Marginal propensity to consume(MPC) = 0.7
Government spending = $600 billion
Therefore, we can evaluate the multiplier using the following formula:
Multiplier = 3.33
Noe, in order to find the stimulation in the economy we will multiple the new government spending with the multiplier. We will get ;
Stimulation = $2000 billion
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
First we have to find the present value based on monthly payment i.e. to be determined by using the present value formula and the same is to be shown in the attachment
Given that,
Future value = $0
Rate of interest = 7% ÷ 12 months = 0.58333%
NPER = 5 years × 12 months = 60 months
PMT = $1,910
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
So, after applying the above formula, the present value is $96,458.90
As it can be seen than the lumpsum amount i.e. $92,000 is less than the monthly payment present value so here the lumpsum option should be chosen.
