Answer:

change in GDP= $440 billion

Explanation:

Given :

Increase in the taxes by government = $110 billion

marginal propensity to the consumer (MPC)= 0.80

By formula we know that

Tax multiplier = -MPC/(1-MPC)

now putting the value we get

Tax multiplier = -\frac{0.8}{1-0.8}

= -4

The change in GDP is given by( Tax multiplier* Increase in the taxes )

Therefore,change in GDP= -4\times110= -440 billion

Minus sign indicate decrease in GDP
