    - $1,099,890 billion.

    Explanation:

    Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) = 0.990

    Tax multiplier = - MPC : (1 - MPC)

    = - 0.990 : (1 - 0.990)

    = - 9 9

    change in GDP = Change in taxes * Tax multiplier

    = $11110 * (-99)

    = - $1,099,890

    the minus sign shows a decrease

    Hence, the change in equilibrium GDP is - $1,099,890 billion.
