answer

all the points where aggregate expediture equals real GDP

question

Suppose we drop the assumption that net exports do not depend on real GDP

answer

negative slope because as domestic GDP or income increases, imports increase while exports remain the same leading to a reduction in net exports

question

correct statement about planned inventory increases

answer

planned inventory increases are likely to indicate business optimism and correspond with upturns in the businesss cycle

question

correct statement about unplanned inventory increases

answer

unplanned inventory increase are likely to indicate that aggregate expenditures are low and correspond with downturns in the business cycle

question

answer

an increase in autonomous expenditure leads to a larger increase in real GDP

question

If the marginal propensity to consume is .90 by how much will an increase in planned investment spending of $200 billion shift up the aggregate expediture line?

answer

if planned investment spending increases by $200 billion, it will shift the aggregate expenditure line up by $200 billion

question

by how much will it increase equilibrium real GDP?

answer

increase by $2000 billion

question

would a larger multiplier lead to more severe recessions or less severe recessions?

answer

a larger multiplier means that small changes in spending lead to large changes in GDP, and thus recessions would be more severe.
