Change in income due to fiscal policy=-1000*3.5= -3500

Money supply change=2000*4.5=9000
Change in income due to monetary policy =9000*2.5= 22500

Net= 19000

'the' multiplier is income multiplier with respect to government. change in income due to increased govt. spending will be 18 billion dollars( 3 billion dollars*6) and due to money supply: 32 billion dollars. total is 50, as desired.
