Answer:

a $1 rise in government spending will raise both total spending and Real GDP (assuming prices are constant) by $2.70.

The tax multiplier is generally used to show the multiple at which there is either a decrease or an increase in gross domestic product when there is either an increase or decrease in tax. Therefore, if the tax multiplier is equivalent to '$n' and assuming there is no change in price, there will be an increase of '$n' on the GDP and total spending for every dollar increase in the spending of government.
