Our economists have redone their calculations. They now estimate that citizens in our country have an MPC of 0.80. We can fix the problem by decreasing GDP by 250. How much should we increase taxes?

The GDP must grow by at least $60 billion in order to achieve the target growth rate. The country is already running a budget deficit and asking you whether to decrease taxes or increase government expenditures in order to achieve the target with the least increase in the budget deficit. MPC = 0.5. Calculate the tax multiplier and government multiplier and advise about which policy should be implemented and why.
