    Economics help!
    Hi guys I am currently an AS level student,I am doing Economics

    There is a question I don't understand hope you guys help me!

    Its 2008 ad the credit crunch has bitten. Exports have fallen to 10 and investment to 140. If the MPM-marginal propensity to import falls to 0.05 because of a fall off in foreign holidays,the MPT (marginal propensity to tax)stays the same but fear drives the MPS up to 0.5,what should the government do if GDP is 2400 and the full employment level is 3000?:confused:

    I'm pretty sure I'm doing OCR and I'm doing A2 but haven't done any of that yet... I know they've changed the course but I haven't got a clue what that's about!

    you have to work out the multiplier, and then figure out the change in G (simpliest way), which will close the gap of 600.
