When Real GDP is $350 billion, consumption is $300 billion, government purchases are $25 billion, and investment is $50 billion. When Real GDP is $400 billion, consumption is $325 billion, government purchases are $25 billion, and investment is $50 billion. Use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot the economy's total expenditure function within a simplified Keynesian framework. (?) The economy is in equilibrium when Real GDP is?
