    Y = 15,500

    Explanation:

    If government spending increased by $200 million

    Y = C + I + G + NX

    Y = 5,000 + 0.6 (Y-1,000) + 1,000 + (800+200) - 200

    Y = 5,000 + 0.6 (Y-1,000) + 1,000 + 1,000 - 200

    Y = 5,000 + 0.6 (Y-1,000) + 1,800

    Y = 5,000 + 0.6Y-600 + 1,800

    Y = 6.200 + 0.6Y

    Y - 0.6 Y = 6,200

    0.4 Y = 6,200

    Y = 6,200 / 0.4

    Y = 15,500

    Therefore, change in equilibrium income (in millions) is $500
