Consider two separate economies, Economy A and Economy B. In Economy A, for every additional dollar of income received, households typically spend $0.90. In Economy B, for every additional dollar of income received, households typically spend $0.60. If both economies experience an identical, one-time increase in business investment, which statement accurately compares the resulting total change in national income?
