Aggregate Demand in a Closed Economy without Government

Exogenous Investment in the Simplified Multiplier Model

Expanded Multiplier Model (Open Economy with Government, Trade, and Endogenous Investment)

In an economic model consisting only of households and firms, where there is no government activity or international trade, the marginal propensity to consume is 0.8. If firms in this economy decide to increase their planned investment by $50 billion, what will be the total resulting increase in the economy's aggregate output?

In a simplified economic model with no government or international trade, a decision by households to save a larger portion of any additional income they receive will lead to a larger overall impact on total output from any given change in investment spending.

An economy, which consists only of households and firms and does not engage in international trade, experiences a $100 million increase in planned business investment. Arrange the following events in the correct chronological order to illustrate the resulting economic process.

Explaining the Multiplier Mechanism

Assumptions of the Simplified Multiplier Model

In an economic model that includes only households and firms (with no government or international trade), an initial change in spending sets off a chain reaction. Match each term related to this process with its correct description.

In an economic model that only includes households and firms, with no international trade, a $20 billion increase in planned investment spending leads to a total increase in the economy's output of $100 billion. Based on this outcome, the marginal propensity to consume must be ___.

Evaluating the Simplified Economic Model

In a closed economy with no government sector, an initial increase in planned investment of $200 million occurs. If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.6, what is the increase in consumption spending that results from the second round of the multiplier effect?

Aggregate Demand in a Closed Economy without Government

In a given year, an economy produces $10 trillion worth of goods and services. However, the total amount of planned spending by households, firms, the government, and foreign buyers is only $9.5 trillion. Based on this information, what is the most direct and immediate consequence for the economy?

Calculating Total Planned Expenditure

A technology firm produces 50,000 new laptops in a quarter. During that same quarter, it sells 45,000 laptops to consumers and businesses, and the remaining 5,000 are added to the company's warehouse. Based on this information, which of the following events would cause a direct increase in the economy's aggregate demand?

An unexpected increase in the total stock of goods held by businesses is counted as a component of aggregate demand for that period.

Match each economic activity described below to the specific component of total planned expenditure it represents.

Analyzing Planned vs. Actual Economic Activity

An economy experiences several events over a year. Which of the following events represents an expenditure that is not included when calculating the total planned expenditure, also known as aggregate demand?

A country's price index is calculated using a basket of goods. The table below shows the main categories in the basket, the percentage of a typical household's budget spent on each (its weight), and the price change for each category over the past year.

Based on this data, which category's price change contributed the most to the overall increase in the price index?
