Answer: $200 billion

Explanation:

First find the government spending multiplier:

Multiplier = 1 / (1 - MPC)

= 1 / (1 - 0.8)

= 5

The government wants to increase the real GDP to $19 trillion from $18 trillion which means that they want to increase it by $1 trillion.

In order to increase it by $1 trillion, the amount the government needs to spend is:

Increase in real GDP = Multiplier * Government spending

1 trillion = 5 * Government spending

Government spending = 1 trillion / 5

= $200 billion
