1 | | If consumption and disposable income are equal at a particular level of income: |
| | A) | the MPC must be one at this point |
| | B) | the MPS must be zero at this point |
| | C) | the APC must be less than one at this point |
| | D) | saving must be zero at this point |
|
|
|
2 | | Suppose that for the entire economy, no investment projects will yield an expected real return of more than 12%. However, $10 billion worth of projects will yield expected real returns of 9.1% to 12%, an additional $10 billion will yield expected real returns of 6.1% to 9%, an additional $10 billion will yield expected real returns of 3.1% to 6%, and an additional $10 billion will yield expected real returns of 0% to 3%. If the real rate of interest is 6%, desired investment spending will be: |
| | A) | $0 billion |
| | B) | $10 billion |
| | C) | $20 billion |
| | D) | $30 billion |
|
|
|
3 | | The investment demand curve will shift to the left if: |
| | A) | the interest rate decreases |
| | B) | the interest rate increases |
| | C) | expected returns on investment increase |
| | D) | business taxes increase |
|
|

Which of the following might have caused the shift from consumption schedule C1 to schedule C2? |
| | A) | An increase in disposable income |
| | B) | An increase in household wealth |
| | C) | An increase in household debt |
| | D) | An increase in taxes |
|
|
|
5 | | Suppose the MPC is ¾. If investment spending falls by $10 billion, the level of GDP will: |
| | A) | fall by $40 billion |
| | B) | fall by $30 billion |
| | C) | fall by $10 billion |
| | D) | fall by $7.5 billion |
|
|
|
6 | | If the slope of the consumption line is .8: |
| | A) | the MPC is .8 |
| | B) | the MPS is .8 |
| | C) | the MPC is 1/.2 |
| | D) | the MPS is 1/.2 |
|
|
|
7 | | If the MPC is .63, the multiplier is: |
| | A) | 1 / .63 |
| | B) | 1 – .37 |
| | C) | 1 / .37 |
| | D) | .63 / .37 |
|
|
|
8 | | All else equal, if the interest rate rises: |
| | A) | planned investment spending will decrease |
| | B) | the investment demand curve will shift upward |
| | C) | the investment demand curve will shift to the left |
| | D) | the investment demand curve will shift to the right |
|
|
|
9 | | The consumption schedule is: |
| | A) | an inverse relationship between consumption and the price level |
| | B) | a direct relationship between consumption and disposable income |
| | C) | an inverse relationship between consumption and saving |
| | D) | an inverse relationship between consumption and the tax rate |
|
|
|
10 | | Along a particular saving schedule, each change in disposable income of $15 billion generates an additional $3 billion in saving. Therefore: |
| | A) | the MPS is .3 |
| | B) | the MPS is .2 |
| | C) | the APC is .8 |
| | D) | the slope of the consumption schedule is .7 |
