In the above example, if exports change to X = 100, find the change in equilibrium income and the net export balance.

C = 40 + 0.8YD
T = 50
I = 60
G = 40
X = 100
M = 50 + 0.05Y
Equilibrium income (Y) = A/(1 - c + m)

= (C - cT + I + G + X - M)/(1 - c + m)

= (40 - 0.8 x 50 + 40 + 60 + 100 - 50)/(1 - 0.8 + 0.05)

= (40 - 40 + 40 + 60 + 100 - 50)/0.25

= 150/0.25

= (150 x 100)/25

 = 600

Net export balance NX = X - M - 0.05Y

= 100 - 50 - 0.05 x 600

= 50 - 0.05 x 60

= 50 - 30 = 20
