Answer:

This is a recessionary gap of $60 billion.

Simple multiplier = 1/ (1-.75) = 1/.25 = 4

The government would then have to increase its spending on goods and merchandise by total gap divided my simple multiplier.

$60 billion/ 4 = $15 billionTransfer multiplier - Each dollar of a Transfer payment will increase real GDP by Transfer Payment Multiplier

= MPC / (1-MPC) = 0.75 / (1-0.75) = 0.75/0.25 = $3

The government must increase spending on transfer payments by total gap divided by transfer payment multiplier = $60 billion / $3 = $20 billion

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

c. the well-being of sellers.

Explanation:

A surplus is the amount by which the quantity supplied of a good exceeds the quantity demanded of the good.

Producer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the cost of producing the good.

On the other hand, consumer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the amount the buyer actually pays for it.

Hence, an export subsidy will increase producer surplus.

In conclusion, producer surplus directly measures the well-being of sellers.
