    Answer: The answer is $3,125,000,000

    Explanation:

    Since autonomous investment is government investment in the economy

    68% of the increase in disposable income was consumed

    Using the equation

    Since Y = yd, spending in the economy is represented by

    Equation C = 0.68yd, investment = $1,000,000,000

    Y = C + I

    Y = 0.68Y + 1,000,000,000

    Y - 0.68 = 1,000,000,000

    Factor out the variable Y

    Y (1 - 0.68) = 1,000,000,000

    0.32Y = 1,000,000,000

    Divide both sides by 0.32

    0.32Y / 0.32 = 1,000,000,000 / 0.32

    Y = 3,125,000,000

    Therefore the increase in total spending will be $3,125,000,000
