14.If government spending increases by $ 15, what is the new equilibrium level of the real GDP?

If government spending increases by $ 15 then to find the new equilibrium I can use the recessionary GAP formula

Recessionary GAP = GDP Gap / Spending Multiplier

                     (5)   15   = GDP Gap    (5)

                                           5

                            75    = GDP Gap

GDP Gap + Old equilibrium level of the real GDP = New equilibrium level of the real GDP

   75          +   500   = $ 575 New equilibrium level of the real GDP

  1. What is the MPS?

Because disposable income will be either consumed or saved, the marginal propensity to consume plus the marginal propensity to save must total 1. The MPC of this economy is 0.9

                                                   MPC + MPS =       1

                                                      0.9   + MPS =       1

                                                    - 0.9   + MPS = - 0.9

                                                                 MPS =    0.1
