6 20. You are given the following information about aggregate demand at the existing price level for an economy: (1) consumption = $500 billion; (2) investment = $50 billion; (3) government purchases = $100 billion; and (4) net export = $20 billion.

A. $6 billion B. $9 billion C. $12 billion D. $16 billion
8 29. In an economy, the government wants to increase aggregate demand by $50 billion at each price level to increase real GDP and reduce unemployment. If the MPS is 0.4, then it could increase government spending by: A. $10 billion B. $20 billion C. $31.25 billion D. $40.50 billion 30.

Increase taxes by $16 billion B. Increase taxes by $24 billion C. Decrease government spending by $10 billion D. Decrease government spending by $16 billion 31. As the economy declines into recession, the collection of personal income tax revenues automatically falls. This phenomenon best illustrates how a progressive income-tax system: A. Increases crowding out in the economy B. Decreases real interest rates in the economy C. Offsets the timing problem for fiscal policy D. Serves as an automatic stabilizer for the economy 32. Which of the following is an example of built-in stability? As real GDP decreases, income tax revenues: A. Increase and transfer payments decrease B. Decrease and transfer payments increase C. And transfer payments both decrease D. And transfer payments both increase 33. The so-called "negative taxes" are better known as: A. Government spending B. Transfer payments C.

Increases in government spending may reduce private investment D. High taxes reduce both consumption and saving 40. The crowding-out effect arises when: A.
