Equilibrium level of GDP is that level of GDP at which real GDP (Y) is equal to AD.

As above table show, when real GDP (Y) is $12,000, it equals AD.

So, the equilibrium level of GDP is $12,000 billion.

MPC = Change in consumption/Change in real GDP or Y

As above table show, real GDP or Y is increasing at constant rate of $1,000 billion.

So, change in real GDP is $1,000 billion.

Consumption is increasing at constant rate of $500 billion.

So, change in consumption is $500 billion.

MPC = Change in consumption/Change in real GDP or Y

MPC = $500 billion/$1,000 billion

MPC = 0.50

Thus, the MPC is 0.50.

Calculate Value of Multiplier –

Multiplier = 1/(1-MPC) = 1/(1-0.50) = 2

Net exports increase by $400 billion.

Increase in spending = Increase in net exports * Multiplier

                                  = $400 billion * 2

                                  = $800 billion

New level of GDP = Equilibrium GDP + Increase in spending

                               = $12,000 billion + $800 billion

                               = $12,800 billion

Thus, a $400 billion increase in net exports leads to change in spending of $800 billion, so the new level of GDP will be $12,800 billion.
