Increase or change in national income i.e., 
                               increment straight y space equals space increment straight I space cross times space fraction numerator 1 over denominator 1 minus MPC end fraction
space space space space space space equals space 75 space cross times space fraction numerator 1 over denominator 1 minus 0.75 end fraction space equals space 75 space cross times space fraction numerator 1 over denominator 0.25 end fraction
