Question

where is the 11 comming from? 

Step 1
Given:
Estimated recessionary gap = $20 billion
Increase in government spending = $1 billion
MPC = 0.9
Step 2
Since MPC =0.9,
Multiplier-11-MPC
=11-0.9
=10.1
=10
Change in national income due to increase in government spending:-
=10x1
Change in National Income-MultiplierxAG
Remainder of the recessionary gap=20 billion-10 billion
= $10 billion
Step 3
Tax Multiplier = MPC1 - MPC =0.9/0.1 = 9
Change in Income Tax Multiplier * Change in Taxes
Change in Income required = 10 billion
Putting in values:
=$10 billion
10 billion = 9 * (- Change in Taxes) (Negative Sign is used to denote reduction in taxes)
Changes in Taxes = -1.11 billion
Therefore, tax needs to be reduced by $1.11 billion.
