question 34

Multiple Choice

The diagram below shows desired aggregate expenditure for a hypothetical economy.Assume the following features of this economy:
∙ marginal propensity to consume (mpc) = 0.75
∙ net tax rate (t) = 0.20
∙ no foreign trade
∙ fixed price level
∙ all expenditure and income figures are in billions of dollars. FIGURE 22-2
-Refer to Figure 22-2.Which of the following equations describes the aggregate expenditure function for this economy?

• A)AE = 250 + (0.6)Y
• B)AE = 225 + (0.75)Y
• C)AE = 250 +(0.15)Y
• D)AE = 75 + (0.75)Y + (0.2)Y_D
• E)AE = 250 +(0.75)Y + (0.2)Y_D
