  9. Suppose in two economies A and B, both of which are closed, Y = C + G (Y = real income, C = real consumption and G = real govt. Expenditure) . Assume that both economies have identical consumption function C = 200 + 0 − 25 Y. Further, assume G = 200 units. Finally in economy A, G is spent on building roads and bridges while in economy B, G is spent on running cars and air-conditioners for public servants. What will be the equilibrium level of Y in economies A and B?
    1. A: 400; B: 400
    2. A: 800; B: 600
    3. A: 1600; B: 800
