The Central Government sanctioned ₹40 crores to Kerala and Assam for making additional investments. The MPC of Kerala is 0.8 and Assam is 0.5.(a) Find the multiplier and multiplier effect on the income of these two States.(b) Explain the concept of output multiplier.

Answer»

(a) Multiplier of Kerala

K = \(\frac{1}{1-0.8}=\frac{1}{0.2}=5\)

Multiplier of Assam

K = \(\frac{1}{1-0.5}=\frac{1}{0.5}\)  = 2

In Kerala, ΔY = K x Δl

ΔY = 5 x 40 = 200 Crores

In Assam ΔY = 2 x 40

= 80 crores

(b) Multiplier denotes the relationship between investment and income. Increase in investment leads to increase in income.
