C = 40 + 0.8YD T = 50 I = 60 G = 40 X = 90 M = 50 + 0.05Y
  1. Equilibrium level of income
Y = C + c (Y − T) + I + G + X − M ­− mY
$\text{Y}=\frac{\text{A}}{1-\text{c}+\text{m}}$ Where,  A  = C − CT + I + G + X − M
$=\frac{\text{C}-\text{cT}+\text{I}+\text{G}+\text{X}-\text{M}}{1-\text{c}+\text{m}}$
$=\frac{40-0.8\times50+60+40+90-50}{1-0.8+0.05}$
$=\frac{40-40+60+40+90-50}{1-0.75}$
$=\frac{140}{0.25}=\frac{140}{25}\times100$
$=560$
  1. Net exports at equilibrium income
NX = X - M - mY
= 90 - 50 - (0.05 × 560)
= 40 - (28)
= 40 - 28 = 12
  1. When G increase from 40 to 50,
Equilibrium income $(\text{Y})=\frac{\text{C}-\text{cT}+\text{I}+\text{G}+\text{X}-\text{M}}{1-\text{c}+\text{m}}$
$=\frac{40-0.8\times50+60+50+90-50}{1-0.8+0.05}$
$=\frac{40-40+60+50+90-50}{1-0.8+0.05}$
$=\frac{150}{0.25}=\frac{150}{25}\times100=600$
Net export balance at equilibrium income NX = X - (M - mY) = 90 - 50 - (0.05 × 600) = 40 - (30) = 40 - 30 = 10
