            C = 400 + 0.8                                            I = 310

                                                                              G = 140

               = 400 + 0.8 (Y - T)                                T = 200,

 

            where C is the consumption function, (Y - T)  is disposable income, I is investment, G is government spending, and T is taxes

If government spending increased by $80, equilibrium Y would
