Investment multiplier refers to the increase in the aggregate income of the economy as a result of an increase in the investments done by the government. The ratio of ΔY to ΔI is called the investment multiplier. K = \(\frac{ΔY}{ΔI}\) K = \(\frac{1}{\text{1-MPC}}\) So, \(\frac{1}{\text{1-MPC}}\) = \(\frac{ΔY}{ΔI}\) \(\frac{1}{\text{1-0.85}}\) = \(\frac{ΔY}{2,000}\) \(\frac{1}{\text{0.15}}\) = \(\frac{ΔY}{2,000}\) ΔY = \(\frac{100}{\text{15}}\) * 2000 ΔY = 13,333
