For a model economy, the mpc (marginal propensity to consume) is 0.8. Current GDP is $100 million. Potential GDP is $60 million. To reach full employment (reduce inflationary gap), government spending must g

To reach full employment (reduce inflationary gap), government spending must fall by $8 million.

Explanation:

Multiplier = 1 / (1 - mpc) = 1 / (1 - 0.8) = 5

Output gap = Current GDP - Potential GDP = $100 - $60 = $40 million

Amount of change in government expenditure needed = Output gap / mpc = $40 / 5 = $8 million

Since the Potential GDP is less than the Current GDP, this implies that the government spending must fall by $8 million to reach full employment.

Therefore, to reach full employment (reduce inflationary gap), government spending must fall by $8 million.

(i know i'm late but the answer's "things about yourself" because you want to list things you're capable of, why you want to open up the business, the amount of money you're putting into it,etc.) i'm guessing you take online school small business, the answers to the quizzes are all over quizlet. just look up your question and type quizlet after it and it'll pop up.
