### 5. Expenditure GapsThe following graph shows the planned expenditure line (AE) for an economy where current equilibrium income is $400 billion and full-employment income is $650 billion.#### Graph Explanation- **Vertical Axis (Y-axis):** - Labeled as "REAL EXPENDITURE (Billions of dollars)" - Scale ranges from 0 to 800 in increments of 100 billion dollars.- **Horizontal Axis (X-axis):** - Labeled as "INCOME (Billions of dollars)" - Scale ranges from 0 to 800 in increments of 100 billion dollars.- **45-Degree Line:** - Represented by a black line originating from the origin and extending at a 45-degree angle. This line indicates points where income equals expenditure.- **Planned Expenditure (PE) Line:** - Represented by a blue line that slopes upward, showing the relationship between income and planned expenditure.- **Full-Employment Income:** - Indicated by a vertical green line at $650 billion on the income axis.#### Text ExplanationThe economy is experiencing a ________________ with the absolute value of the gap equal to $________ billion. Closing the income gap would require a $________ billion __________ in government spending. Thus the value of the multiplier for this economy is ___________.*Instructions: On the graph, shift the PE line to show the change in the planned expenditure line necessary to close the income gap.*

Equilibrium income = $400 Full employment income = $6501. Recessionary gap 2. Absolute value of the gap = 650-400 = 250 billion 3. Closing the gap will need, 650 - 500 =150 billion increase in government spending 4. Multiplier=255150=1.67
