Consider an economy described by the following equations:

Consumption: C = 100 + 0.8(Y-T) Investment: I = 150 Government Spending: G = 200 Taxes: T = 0.25Y Exports: X = 50 Imports: IM = 0.10Y

Where Y is total income. If government spending increases by $100, what will be the total resulting increase in income (Y)?
