The short-run aggregate supply curve will shift to the right when

• energy prices increase
• government regulation increases

• foreign exports increase

• government spending increases

• investment increases

• consumption increases

• consume is 0.4

• save is 0.8

• save is 0.4

If the MPC is .80, the government spending multiplier is:

• 4

• 5

• 3
