how to get B ?
MPC of unemployed is higher, let say 0.7.
MPC of tax payers is lower than that of unemployed, let say 0.5

Government is increasing the expenditure on unemployment benefits by $10 million, this means that now, the unemployed individuals would have more money to consume. However, at the same time, taxation should rise by greater amount than $10 million if government wants to keep the A.E unchanged. Because suppose that first, the taxpayers were paying 0.2 of their income as taxes (MPT = o.2) Now, if the taxes are increased by greater proportion, the MPC of taxpayers would fall, means that they would now consume less. The fall in consumption of the tax payers should be equal to an increase in consumption by unemployed individuals. However, the MPC of both are different and therefore the taxes should be increased by MORE than $10 million if the A.E is to be kept constant.
