An economy is initially in long-run equilibrium with a price level of 100 and real GDP of $5
billion. Then, an increase in demand for exports shifts demand from AD; to AD₂. This causes GDP
to increase to $7 billion and the price level to increase to 110. The federal government decides
to cut government spending in order to return to the long-run equilibrium and price level. The
marginal propensity to consume is 0.5. How much should the government reduce spending by?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F02cd623b-45e4-4526-9c9f-5d0ff0060a0c%2F2f2a954f-7827-48ac-8ed6-5e8309cce380%2Fn10v4va_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
