    Explanation:

    Let the following equations

    (1) C = 200 + 0.8Y

    (2) AE = C + I

    (3) I = 200

    In an open economy, equilibrium income equals the sum of aggregate expenditures: consumption + investment

    (4) In equilibrium: AE = Y

    So aggregating (2) and (4) we have: C + I = Y

    solve for Y:

    200 + 0.8Y = Y

    Then: 0.2Y = 200

    Y = 10.000

    The equilibrium income is 10,000
