Question

With the Consumption function:

C = 200 + 0.75(Y - T)

and each of G, I and T being 100, what is the value of the Government purchase Multiplier?

Solution

The government purchase multiplier can be calculated using the formula 1/(1-MPC), where MPC is the marginal propensity to consume.

In the given consumption function C=200+ 0.75(Y-T), the MPC is 0.75.

Step 1: Identify the MPC MPC = 0.75

Step 2: Substitute MPC into the formula Multiplier = 1/(1-MPC) = 1/(1-0.75)

Step 3: Calculate the value Multiplier = 1/0.25 = 4

So, the value of the government purchase multiplier is 4.
