Suppose autonomous consumption is 550; there are no taxes; planned investment is 200; government spending is 250; exports are 100; and imports are 300. If equilibrium GDP is $8,000, what is the marginal propensity to consume?

The marginal propensity to consume is 0.6

Explanation:

The computation of the marginal propensity to consume is shown below

Given that

Autonomous consumption = 550 = C

Planned investment = 200 = I

Government spending = 250 = G

Exports = 100 = X

Imports  = 300 = M

Equilibrium level of GDP = $8,000 = Y

Now as we know that

The equation for aggregate demand is

Y = C + I + G +( X- M)

$8,000 = [550 + b × $8,000] + 200 + 250 + [100 - 300]

7,200 = 8,000b

b = 0.9

Hence, The marginal propensity to consume is 0.6

b or d if i'm correct boi.

anyone below or above ambitious can tell you. so crowns mean brainliest. getting brainliest means your answer needs a good explanation and the person asking the question can understand your answer easily. so say there's a multiple choice question. you don't just want to say your answer is a, hope it . provide evidence and reasoning so that they know that that is the correct answer. a good explanation should have evidence, good reasoning, and your opinion on why you picked that. you don't want to look up their question on the internet and see if you can answer it. pick questions that you 100% know the answer to, so than that way you can provide a better explanation.

best of luck,
