a. What is the equilibrium level of income?

b. What would be the equilibrium income if investment increased by £50?

c. Calculate the value of the multiplier, given the change in investment.

d. Explain, as if you were explaining to your (non-economist) grandparents. What is the meaning of that multiplier you found in c)?
