Answers
Government shutdown will also affect the consumption and GDP pattern of the economy as follows:
a) Consumption level on an average must have fallen as there was instability in the economy and therefore, velocity of money got reduced. As a result, money supply in the economy had fallen along with, aggregate demand, employment rate, income level- all these components had fallen too.
b) GDP must have fallen because of shutdown of the government as the production of goods and services in the economy had got reduced as it sensed an instability in the market.
c) Real GDP: (price of the base year* quantity of the current year) Real GDP will fall as there will be reduction in the quantity of goods and services produced in an economy.
d) Multiplier= 1/(1-MPC)). Multiplier will also fall as multiplier and consumption level both has a positive relationship and hence as consumption level on an average will fall due to the shutdown of the government, the multiplier will also go down.
note: here, MPC= Marginal propensity to consume= change in consumption/ change in income level
e) Keynesian curve will shift to the rightward as there we observed a fall in the components of the aggregate demand curve.
Components of AD curve: consumption, investment, government expenditure, net exports
Effect on APC, APS, MPC, MPS and multiplier
a)Fall in Consumption level will make APC fall as APC= consumption/ income
b) Fall in consumption will make savings rise and hence APS will rise.
here, APS= savings/income
c) Fall in Consumption level will make MPC fall as APC= change in consumption/ change in income
b) Fall in consumption will make savings rise and hence MPS will rise.
here, MPS= change in savings/ change in income.

rightward. Shutdown of the government curve shift to the off to in AD in the economy will imply make a AD fall - ADI(C+I+G+X AD Expenditure Income TS Seannee-with CamScanner Output income
