    A. Consumption of the people of Egypt from the given equation after the investment

    Y = income

    C = 100 +0.75Y

    C = 11350

    B. Government spending multiplier before and after the investment

    Government Spending Multiplier = 1/MPS

    Before = 3.33

    After = 4

    C.Tax multiplier before and after the investment

    Tax multiplier = - MPC/MPS

    Before = 2.33

    After = 3

    Idea Solution

    C = 100 +0.75Y

    where Y means Income and income bhi hamen di gae hai which is 15000 of after investment

    so Y (income) = 15000 equation mein put ker dein

    C = 100+ 0.75 (15000)

    C = 100 + 11250 = 11350

    B. Government spending multiplier before and after the investment

    Government Spending Multiplier = 1/MPS

    Before = 3.33

    After = 4


    C. Tax multiplier before and after the investment

    Tax multiplier = - MPC/MPS

    Before = -2.33

    After = -3

    Part D: Nominal Interest Rate

    I = r + π

    π = inflation rate

    r = real interest rate

    so I = 5.5% + 2.1% = 7.6% (before investment)

    I = 5.7% + 2.5% = 8.2% (after investment)
