Exercises — Consumption and Investment Aggregate demand and aggregate supply Macroeconomic equilibrium 1. True / False Questions 1. If DI is $275 billion and the APC is 0.8, we can conclude that saving is $55 billion. “T Fite MPC is constant at various levels of income, then the APC must also be constant at all of those income levels. F 3. If the Hennige family's marginal propensity to consume is 0.70, then it will necessarily consume seven-tentis of its total income, T 4. The slope of the consumption schedule is measured by the MPC. TT 5. A decline in the seal interest rate will shift the investment demand curve ta the right. 77 6. The marginal propensity to consume shows the fraction of any level of total income that is consumed. F 7. If people saved more of any extra income that they received, then the consumption schedule would become flater, > 8. If the consumption schedule becomes steeper, then the saving schedule will become steeper also. F” 9. If households see the value of their financial assets increase significantly, then the saving schedule will shift upward. FF 10. The wealth effect will tend to decrease cousumption and increase saving. F IL. An imerease in taxes will shift both the cousumption schedule and the saving schedule down T 12. Ifthe real rate of interest increases, then the level of investment inthe economy will also increase. FF 13. An inerease in business taxes will tend to shift the investment-demand curve rightward. 14, Investment is not affected by current profits, it is affected by expected future profits only. 15, The interest-rate effect is one of the determinants of aggregate demand, € 16. Other things equal, an increase in productivity will shift the short-run aggregate supply curve rightward. T 17. An inerease in imports (independent of a change ‘in the US. price level) will increase both U.S. aggregate supply and U.S. ageregate demand. 18. An increase in business excise taxes will shift the aggregate supply curve leftward. T 19. The equilibrium price level and equilibrium level of real GDP occur at the intersection of the aggregate demand curve and the aggregate supply curve. T 20, The aggregate demand curve shows that when the price level rises, the quantity of real output demanded decreases. T 21, An increase in real interest rates will increase investment and aggregate demand 22. A decrease in personal and business taxes will cause government spending and aggregate demand to decrease. F 23. Depreciation of the dollar relative to foreign currencies will tend to increase net exports and tus aggregate demand of the U.S. economy. 24, The long-run aggregate supply curve is upward sloping. 25, When there is an increase in aggregate demand in. the short rum, there will be an inetease in the price Jevel but not in the level of output or employment.
