    increasing government spending by $4 billion.

    Explanation:

    A rightward shift of aggregate demand means that aggregate demand is increasing.

    When the government increases spending, the effect on aggregate demand is given by ⇒ total change in spending x government spending multiplier

    total change in spending = $4 billion government spending multiplier = 1 / MPS = 1 / 0.1 = 10

    effect on aggregate demand = $4 billion x 10 = $40 billion
