In: Economics
Assume that MPS is equal to 0.15 and MPI is equal to 0.10, and there are no taxes. An initial change of $19,000 in government expenditure would result in a total change of _____ in income.
[Hints: In an economy that has no taxes, Multiplier = 1/(MPS + MPI) ]
$19,000
$16,150
$20,000
$76,000
$126,667
MPC = 0.15
MPI = 0.10
Multiplier = 1/(MPS+MPI) = 1/(0.15+0.10)= 1/0.25 =4
Change in government spending = $19,000
Total change in income = (4)($19,000)= $ 76,000.
Hence,option(D) is correct.
