Given the following parameters for an open economy open economy where C=10+.8(y-T); I=10 G=10 T=10 and imports and exports are given by IM=.3Y and X=.3Y* respectively where Y is foreign output.

Provide an equation that resolves to the lowest level. Given Y*. I am assuming that y=Y=Y*. Not sure if you are supposed to do that. I am also assuming this is a small open economy. Solving numerically yields the following. See the discussion below on how we get this equation.
Y=10+.8(Y-10)+10+10+.3Y-.3Y
Y-.8Y = 22
Y = 22/.2
Y=110
What is the mulipier effect of this open economy?
Recall that the multiplier is 1/(1-MPC) ...
