Answer:

$100 billion

Explanation:

Real GDP is currently = ​$13.55 trillion

Potential real GDP =​ $14.0 trillion

Gap = ​$500 billion

Government purchases multiplier = 5.0

Tax multiplier = 4.0

To increase aggregate demand by $500 billion, the required increase in government expenditure is:

= (1 ÷ government purchases multiplier) × change in aggregate demand

= (1 ÷ 5) × $500

= $100 billion

Therefore, the government expenditure need to be increased by $100 billion.
