Answer: The recessionary gap will be equal to 1 trillion yen divided by 2.5 or 0.4 trillion yen

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that GDP gap of 1 trillion yen and the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.60. Also, to close the GDP gap, the prime minister has decided to increase government spending. This means that there will be a recessionary gap because the actual GDP will be less than the potential GDP.

Fir the economy to be brought to its potential GDP, the spending of the government will give a stimulus to the economy. Since MPC is 0.6, the multiplier will be:

= 1/1-MPC

= 1/1 - 0.6

= 1/0.4

= 2.5

The government spending will then increase in order to close the recessionary gap as:

∆Y = ∆G × Multiplier

100 = ∆G × 2.5

∆G = 100/2.5

∆G = 40

Therefore, the recessionary gap will be equal to 1 trillion yen divided by 2.5 or 0.4 trillion yen.

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

C. When consumer income​ increases, the demand for eggs decreases.

Explanation:

Inferior goods is the type of good which demand does not increase even though the initial buyer experience an increase in purchasing power.

The reason for this is because that consumer choose to<u> purchase another product that he/she couldn't afford</u> before having an increase in income.

This 'other' product tend to be more expensive and higher in quality compared to the previous one. This is why the word 'inferior' is attached to the previous product.

From the example above, the reason why the demand for the eggs does not increase is most likely happen because the consumer choose to purchase higher quality of food. (such as a more expensive meat)
