Given the following information for the Macro Economy answer the following questions.
In this economy we have an MPC equal to 0.80, Autonomous Consumption of $600 billion, Planned Investment (I) of $1,000 billion, Government Spending (G) of $1,200 billion and Net Taxes (T) of $1,000 billion.

c) Calculate the Spending Multiplier (show how you got your answer).
d) State in one sentence what your answer in (c) above tells us about any decrease in spending that takes place in the economy.
