"In an economy, the autonomous consumption is ₹ 100 and Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) is 0.6. If the equilibrium level of Income is 2,000 , then the autonomous investment is ₹ 300 ."
Justify the statement with valid calculation.
Justify the statement with valid calculation.
Solution:
Given Information:
Autonomous consumption( C ) = 100
Marginal Propensity to Consume( MPC ) = 0.6
Equilibrium level of Income(Y ) = ₹ 2000
Autonomous Investment( I ) = ₹ 300
At equilibrium level,Y = C + I
Thus,₹ 2000 = ₹ 1300 + I
I = ₹ ( 2000 − 1300 )
I = ₹ 700
At this level of income,Y should be ₹ 700 but it is given ₹ 300 which is not valid.
Working Note:
C = C + b Y
= ₹ 100 + 0.6 ( 2000 )
= ₹ 100 + 1200
= ₹ 1300
