Calculate the values for each of the questions. Assume that in each country there are no taxes, international trade, or inflatio

n and that interest rates are fixed. The Italian government decides to stimulate the economy by sending checks worth $ 70 billion to Italian consumers. If the government spending multiplier is 1.5 , calculate the MPC to determine the final change in Italy's real GDP due to the transfer. Please give your answer as a whole number in billions of dollars. $ billion The Greek government decides to introduce new austerity measures, which reduce government direct spending by $ 16 billion. Greece has a marginal propensity to consume of 0.6 . What will be the final change in real GDP as a result of this decreased spending? Please give your answer as a whole number in billions of dollars. $ billion The Japanese government decides to stimulate the economy by increasing direct spending by $ 70 billion. If the final change in real GDP is $ 280 billion, what is Japanese consumers' marginal propensity to consume (MPC)? Please round your answer to two decimal places.

Explanation:

a. The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

1.5  = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

So, MPC is 0.3333

Now the real GDP is

= Multiplier × Government spending

= 0.3333 × $70 billion

= $105 million

So the change in real GDP is

= $105 million - $70 million

= $35 million

b. The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

Multiplier  = 1 ÷ 1 - 0.6

So, multiplier is 2.5

Now the real GDP is

= Multiplier × Government spending

= 2.5 × $16 billion

= -$40 million

c. As we know that

Real GDP = Multiplier × Government spending

$280 billion = Multiplier × $70 billion

So, the multiplier is 4

Now the MPC is

Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

4 = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

So, the multiplier is 0.75

Dividends paid on Gorky common stock                (800,000)

Repayment of notes payable                           <u>     (4,000,000)   </u>

Hodge Inc. has some material that originally cost $74,600. The material has a scrap value of $57,400 as is, but if reworked at a
Burka [1]

Answer:  If the material is reworked and sold, Hodge Inc. has a financial disadvantage of (- 4500).

Let's see why:

1) If we sell the material at its disposal value: We have a cost of $ 74600 and the income from sale would be $ 57400 =

57400 - 74600 = (-17200). We have a loss of $17200.

2) If we rework the material we will have an original cost of $ 74600, an additional cost for reworking of $ 1500 and the income from its sale would be $ 54400 =

54400 - (74600 + 1500) = (-21700) We have a loss of $ 21700.

Then comparing the 2 situations =

(-21700) - (-17200) = -4500. There is a financial disadvantage of $4,500 if the material is reworked instead of selling it as scrap.
