Economics: canada in the global environment, 7e (parkin) Aacsb: reflective thinking: gross investment, is the total amount spent on new capital, includes only replacement investment, equals wealth minus saving, equals saving minus wealth, is the change in the value of capital. Aacsb: reflective thinking: the total amount spent on new capital is, wealth, gross investment, depreciation, net investment, saving. 2010 pearson education canada: in january 2008, tim"s gyms, inc. owned machines valued at million. During the year, the market value of the machines fell by 30 percent. During 2008, tim"s gross investment was: million, ,000, ,000, ,000, ,000. Aacsb: analytical skills: net investment equals, capital minus depreciation, gross investment minus depreciation, the total quantity of plant, equipment, and buildings, gross investment/depreciation, wealth minus saving. Aacsb: reflective thinking: the increase in the value of capital is, gross investment, depreciation, net investment, private sector spending, wealth.

Consider an economy in which taxes, planned investment, government spending on goods and services, and net exports are autonomous, but consumption and planned investment change as the interest rate changes. You are given the following information concerning autonomous consumption, the marginal propensity to consume, planned investment, government purchases of goods and services, and net exports:

Ca = 1,500 - 10r c = 0.6 Ip = 2,400 - 50r G = 2,000 T = 1,800 NX = -200

a. Compute the value of the marginal propensity to save.

b. Compute the amount of autonomous planned spending, Ap, given that the interest rate equals 5.

c. Compute the equilibrium level of income, given that the interest rate equals 5.

d. Suppose that autonomous consumption changes by 4 percent of any change in household wealth and that the decline in the housing market in 2006-07 and drop in the stock market in the summer of 2007 reduces household wealth by $750 billion. Compute the decrease in autonomous consumption that results from the decline in household wealth.

e. Calculate the new amount of autonomous planned spending, Ap, and the new equilibrium level of income, given that the interest rate equals 5.

f. Using your answers to parts c-e, compute the value of the multiplier.
