Autonomous aggregate expenditures decreases by $200 million, the marginal propensity to consume is 0.50, marginal propensity to invest is 0.25, and the marginal propensity to import is 0.10. Calculate the change in income

What will be an ideal response?


? Autonomous Expenditures × 1/[1-(marginal propensity to consume + marginal propensity to invest - marginal propensity to import)] = ? Income

-$200 × 1/1-(0.50 + 0.25 - 0.10 ) = -$200 × 2.86 = -$572
