It is assumed that everything else stays constant.  The economy has Consumption $90, Investment spending $100, Government expenditure on goods and services $80, Tax revenues $50, Exports $50, Imports $60. And marginal propensity to consume is assumed to be 0.7.  When the potential output of the economy (or long run output) is $250, what should be government spending in order to close an output gap?
