    a. Now we have a conditional tendency to consume, 1/MPS = 1/1-MPC = 1/1-0.52 = 2.083 can be determined using this multiplier.

    Now therefore, the total increase is 35.4 * 2.083 = approximately 73.7 Billion.

    b. Here we can see two opposite forces GDP one reduces it and overall impact is + 35.4-50 = - 14.6

    Keeping that factor in mind, we see that the overall decrease is Approximately 30.4118 Billion.

    c. Raise Ratio is 30.4118 / 13.139.5 = 0.231 per cent

    A.$73.75 billions

    B. $50 billion

    C. 0.18%

    Explanation:

    a. The real GDP change in response by

    (1 / (1 - MPC) * $35.4 billion = (1 / (1 - 0.52) * $35.4 billion = $73.75 billion.

    b. If in addition to the consumer spending change in part a, unplanned inventory invest-ment decreases by $50 billion, the resulting change in real GDP is

    $73.75 billion - $50 billion = $23.75 billion.

    c. The percent increase in GDP is

    ($23.75 billion/$13,139.5 billion) * 100

    =0.18%
