    The correct answer is option C. Increase both government spending and taxes by exist300 billion.

    Explanation:

    Expenditure multiplier = 1 / (1 - MPC) = 5

    Tax multiplier = - MPC / (1 - MPC) = - 4

    Change in multiplier = (300*5) + (-4*300)

    = 1500 - 1200

    = 300 billion

    Therefore, there should be increase in both government spending and taxes by exist 300 billion.
