When the government decides to reduce government purchases by $250 billion, this will bring about a $175 billion increase in income.

The increase in the income of the government would be

= $250 × 0.7

= $175 billion

This would then cause a change in income that is

= $175 billion × 0.7

= $122.5 b

The overall change in demand resulting from the initial change in is going to be

= $250 × 3.33 = $833 b
