Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

There is a multiple expansion of income and real GDP because one person's spending becomes another person's income who, in turn, spends and creates more income. The initial increase in autonomous spending will create 40 billion in additional income. Resource owners will spend 75 percent (MPC = 0.75) of their gain in income or 30 billion. This creates 30 billion in income from which consumers will spend 22.5 billion. In turn, this 22.5 billion in new income creates 16.88 billion in new spending. In the next round 16.88 billion in new income will create 12.66 billion in new spending.
