The equilibrium GDP will decrease by $200 million if the government transfers to households decrease by $50 million.
Transfer payment multiplier = MPC / (1 - MPC)
Transfer payment multiplier = 0.8 / (1 - 0.8)
Transfer payment multiplier = 0.8 / 0.2
Transfer payment multiplier = 4
If the government transfers decrease by $50 million.
Equilibrium GDP will decrease by:
= $50 million * 4
= $200 million.
Therefore, the equilibrium GDP will decrease by $200 million if the government transfers to households decrease by $50 million.
