22. What 3 things are included in Gross investment? ____________,
___________,
inventories
and change in ___________.
23. The smallest component of GDP is (C/Ig/G/Xn) and the largest component of
GDP is (C/Ig/G/Xn).
No productive work
24. Why do transfer payments (welfare) not count in GDP? ___________________.
25. If a new car is produced in 2005 but not sold, it is counted as
(investment/consumption/disinvestment). If it is sold in 2006 to a Richland student,
it is counted as (investment/consumption/disinvestment).
26. A person who quits their job to look for a better one is classified as
(cyclically/frictionally) unemployed.
27. If there is substantial unemployment [10%], (potential/actual) GDP exceeds
(potential/actual) GDP.
28. Okun’s Law says that for every 1% of real unemployment [cyclical], there is a
(1%/ 2%/3.5%) gap.
29. Suppose a person’s nominal income rises from $10,000 to $11,000 and the CPI
rises from 100 to 103, the person’s real income will rise by (4%/7%/10%) percent.
3.4%
30. If the CPI increases from 116 to 120, the economy has experienced inflation of _____.
[4/116x100=?]
31. Using the “rule of 70”, how long would it take for inflation to double if the annual
9 yrs.
rate averages 8%? __
32. Dissaving occurs where (income/consumption) exceeds (income/consumption).
33. The (MPC/MPS/APC/APS) indicates the percent of total income which will be
consumed.
34. The greater is the MPC, the (smaller/greater) is the MPS, which results in a
(larger/smaller) multiplier.
$100
35. The APC is “one” at point [letter]: (J/H/G/A).
36. Consumption will be equal to income (GDP) at
(J/H/G).
37. A shift from AE2 to AE3 would be caused by a(an) (appreciation/depreciation) of
the dollar.
38. If there is a shift from “J” to “H”, the simple multiplier is: (2/ 3/ 4/ 5).
39. If the FE GDP is OL & we are at AE2 then there is:
a. recessionary gap b. inflationary gap c. no gap as the economy is in FE at “E”
40. If the FE GDP is OL & we are at AE1, the (recessionary/inflationary) gap is: (AB/BC).
Bonus: Suppose that autonomous consumption is
$800 & that the MPC is 0.9. DI increases by $1,400,
so consumption spending will increase by:
(a) $1,400 (b) $2,060
(c) $1,200
(d) $1,260
(e) $800
[$800 autonomous consumption+90% of $1,400=$360; so $800+$360=$1,260]
$100
41. If the FE GDP is OL & we are at AE3, the (recessionary/inflationary) gap is: (AB/BC).
42. The equilibrium level of GDP (actual GDP) at AE3 is: ($1,000/$1,600/$2,200).
43. If FE is OL & we are at AE1, best fiscal policy would be to (incr/decr) “G” &/or (incr/decr) T.
44. If FE is OL & we are at AE3, best fiscal policy would be to (incr/decr) “G” &/or (incr/decr) T.
45. At income level OK, the volume of saving is: ($300/$700/$1,000).
46. The economy is “dissaving” at GDP level:
($200/$400/$600/$800).
47. A shift from “J” to “H” would result in a MPC of: (IP/QK or HK/OK or HI/QK).
48. A shift from “J” to “H” would result in a MPS of: (HK/OK or IP/QK or HI/QK).
49. It is assumed that Ig, Xn, & “G” (all injections):
A. vary directly with GDP B. vary inversely with GDP C. are independent of the level of GDP
50. Aggregate saving will be zero where GDP is: ($200/$400/$600/$800/$1,000).
51. If the FE GDP is OL & we are at AE1, a (recess/inflat) gap, we can conclude that at the
equilibrium point [actual GDP], saving (is less than/equals/exceeds) planned investment,
but at the FE GDP[$1,600], saving (is less than/equals/exceeds) planned investment by (HI/GF).
52. If gross investment is AE1, the equilibrium GDP is: ($200/$700/$1,000).
53. At AE1, savings total ($200/$300/$700/$1,000) & consumption totals: ($300/$500/$700).
54. At AE1($1,000 GDP), the G decreases both “G” & “T” by $300 billion to balance the
budget. With a M of 5, the GDP (increases/decreases) to ($700/$1,000/$1,300/$1,800).
55. At AE1($1,000 GDP), the G spends $400 billion & increases taxes by $400 billion to
balance the budget. With a M of 2, the GDP (incr/decr) to ($600/$1,000/$1,400/$1,800).
56. If the economy is experiencing a recession, then appropriate fiscal policy would
be to (increase/decrease) spending and/or (increase/decrease) taxes.
57. If the MPC is .8, G could eliminate an inflationary spending gap of $8 billion by
increasing taxes by ($8/$10/$12) billion, or decreasing G by ($8/$10/$12) billion.
AD/AS and Classical v. Keynesian
58. The AD curve shows the amount of (nominal/real) domestic outpu t[AQD] which will
be purchased at each PL.
59. The “interest rate effect” suggests an increase in the PL will (decrease/increase)
I.R., (decrease/increase) “C”, Ig, and Xn, and (decrease/increase) (AQD/AD).
60. If the national incomes of Japan, Canada, and Mexico were to rise, our AD curve
would shift (left/right).
61. An improvement in productivity will shift the (AD/AS) curve to the (left/right).
62. Three stabilizing forces in Classical economics are flexible _______,
prices _______,
wages
and _________
interest ________.
rates
63. Keynes (agreed/disagreed) with the Classicals about Say’s Law that “savings=Ig.”
64. The Keynesians viewed the AS curve as being basically (vertical/horizontal).
65. In Classical theory, a decline in AD will (increase/reduce/not affect) price level.
66. As regards the foreign purchase effect, an increase in U.S. price level will cause
a(n) (increase/decrease) in American exports and a(n) (increase/decrease) in
American imports & therefore cause a(an) (increase/decrease) in (AD/AQD).
67. A change in (price level/government spending) causes a change in AQD.
A change in (price level/production) causes a change in AQS.
68. An increase in AQD would result from a(n) (increase/decrease) in price level.

77. If you deposit $100 in the Thunderduck Bank which has a RR of 20%, the bank
will have ($60/$80/$100) of additional ER.
78. Suppose Thunderduck Bank has $100,000 DD & TR of $50,000. If the RR is 25%,
the banking system can expand the MS [PMC] by a maximum amount of
($50,000/$100,000/$150,000).
79. If borrowers take a portion of their loans as currency rather than DD, the
maximum amount by which the commercial banking system can increase the MS
by lending will (increase/decrease).

bank to another bank.
81. Assume the Duck Bank has no ER & that the RR is 20%. If this bank sells a bond
to the Fed for $1,000, it can expand its loans by a maximum of ($900/$1,000/$2,000).
82. The Fed regulates the MS mainly by (buying & selling bonds/altering the RR).
83. A decrease in the RR [say, from 20% to 10%] tends to (increase/decrease) the MS by
(increasing/decreasing) the ER and (increasing/decreasing) the monetary multiplier.
84. An easy money policy cause-effect chain would go like this: (buying/selling) bonds

Xn, which (increases/decreases) GDP. The dollar has (appreciated/depreciated).
85. A tight money policy cause-effect chain would go like this: ( buying/selling) bonds
would (decrease/increase) the MS which (raises/lowers) the interest rate, which

PMC? $_________
$50,000
88. Coins in your pocket is (M1/M2/both).
89. If AD is AD3 & the Fed wants to get to FE GDP at AD2 [Yf], they should
(increase/decrease) the MS from ($120/$140) to ($100/$120).
90. If the MS is MS1 and the Fed wants to get to FE GDP [Yf], they should
(increase/decrease) the MS from ($100/$120) to ($120/$140).
91. (Buying/Selling) bonds would shift the MS curve from MS3 to MS1
92. The formula for the equation of exchange is (AE=GDP/MV=PQ/MP=VQ).
93. The monetarists are politically (conservative/liberal), believe in
(“rules of law”/discretion of men) on controlling the MS, believe that the capitalist
economy is basically (stable/unstable), that V is basically (stable/unstable), that
there should be an (activist/non-activist) role for monetary policy, and they also
believe the “G” is like the (“fool in the shower”/student driver) & the Fed is like the
(“fool in the shower”/student driver).
94. According to Keynesians, the money demand curve is relatively (steep/flat)
and the investment-demand curve is relatively (steep/flat).
95. According to the monetarists, the money demand curve is relatively (steep/flat)
and the investment-demand curve is relatively (steep/flat).
96. According to Keynesians, V varies (directly/inversely) with the interest rate and
(directly/inversely) with the money supply.
97. The traditional (old) PC suggests a tradeoff between unemployment & (Y/inflation).
98. According to the natural rate theorists, when the actual rate of inflation is greater
than the expected rate, firms will experience (rising/less) profits & thus
(increase/decrease) their employment.
99. Adaptive expectations economists believe there (is a/is no) short run tradeoff but
there (is/is no) long run tradeoff between inflation and unemployment.
100. Rational Expectations economists believe there (is/is no) short run tradeoff &
there also (is/is no) long run tradeoff between inflation and unemployment.

a(an) (increase/decrease) in the growth of government, and a(an) (increase/decrease)
in corporate & personal income taxes.

103. Rational Expectations economists (recommend/do not recommend) discretionary
monetary policy.
104. The notion that the federal budget should stabilize the economy and not worry
about the debt best describes
(cyclically balanced budget/functional finance/ annually balanced budget).
105. An annually balanced budget amendment would (stabilize/destabilize) a recession.
106. Most of the National Debt is owned by (foreigners/American citizens, therefore it
(can/can not) also be called a public credit.
