Money supply is equal to money demand at 500 when the rate of interest is 5%. Therefore the equilibrium interest rate is 5%

Investment is 20 when the rate of interest is 5%

Potential real GDP is 350 but when the investment is 20 the real GDP is 330. Therefore we have a recessionary gap and it is worth 20.

Money supply should be increased by 100

Investment will increase by 10 when the equilibrium interest rate becomes 4% and real income is increased by 20 to reach 350 which is the potential GDP. Therefore multiplier in this economy is 20/10 equals 2.
