If the marginal propensity to consume in a municipality is 0.8, what is the value of the simple multiplier? If a new stadium that adds $30 million in new consumption expenditures is built, what is the impact on the economy based on this multiplier? Suppose the Marginal Propensity to Import is 0.2, what happens to the multiplier and to the impact on the economy?

Ryan is deciding between attending western state university and eastern state university. he cannot attend both universities simultaneously. both are fine universities, but the reputation of western is slightly higher, as is the tuition. let mu subscript upper e and mu subscript upper w be ryan's marginal utilities from attending eastern and western state universities respectively and upper p subscript upper e and upper p subscript upper w be the prices of attending eastern and western state universities. using the rule of consumer optimum, ryan will decide to attend eastern state university, if mue/pe exceeds muw/pw attend eastern state university if mue/pe is less than muw/pw attend western state university, if pe/mue< pw/muw attend western state university, since it gives him more utility.
