    option (D) $50 billion.

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    Additional investment spending = $20 billion

    MPC = 0.6

    Now,

    Increase in aggregate demand = [1 : (1 - mpc) ] * Investment

    or

    Increase in aggregate demand = [1 : (1 - 0.4) ] * $20 billion

    or

    Increase in aggregate demand = (1 : 0.4) * $20 billion

    or

    Increase in aggregate demand = 2.5 * $20 billion

    or

    Increase in aggregate demand = $50 billion

    Hence.

    the correct answer is option (D) $50 billion.
