If the price level doubles, aggregate expenditures will? Less than double, since there are certain parts of AE that are not dependent on the price level.

In the multiplier model, if the mpe is x, then the multiplier is? 1/(1-x). In general this is just relating the MPE to the slope of AE curve.

The multiplier model assumes that the price level is? Fixed. In case prices change there will be changes in the AE curve.

The multiplier equals? 1/(1-MPE) where MPE is the marginal propensity to expend, or the slope of the AE curve.

If an increase in income of $125 causes aggregate expenditure to increase from $1,250 to $1350, then the marginal propensity to expend equals? Chane in income is $125, and change in expenditure is $100. Thus MPE is 100/125 = 0.8.

The level of income where the expenditures function intersects the 45-degree line is the point? That point is the equilibrium aggregate expenditure.

Assume the mpe = ...
