2. Indicate on the graph the effect of an N$300 million increase in investment spending and comment on the magnitude of change in the equilibrium income relative to the change in investment spending. Calculate the new equilibrium income. [9 marks]
3. Assume the marginal tax changes to t = 0,35Y. How will this change influence the total spending curve? Illustrate this on your graph.
