Solution:In this, the G would increase by $100 billion.
Changes in AD are calculated using Government spending multiplier.
Change in AD = Change in G * (1/(1- MPC)) = $100 billion * (1/(1 – 0.80)) = $500 billion.
This new AD curve would intersect the aggregate supply curve at a further point since the AD curve would shift to the right. This would also cause the GDP and prices...
