Question

Assume the following model of the expenditure sector: 

S=C+I+G+Nx

TR=100

C=420+(4/5)YD

I=160

Nx=-40

YD=Y+TR-TA

TA=(1/6)Y

If the government would like to increase the equilibrium level of output (Y) to the full employment level Y*=2,700, by how much should government purchases (G) be changed?
