1.

find investment from the following : National Income = Rs. 500 Autonomous consumption = Rs. 100 Marginal propensity to consume `=0.75`

Answer» `Y=bar(C)+MPC. Y+I`
`500=100+(0.75xx500)+I`
`I=500-100-375= Rs. 25`
2.

In an economy, `C=1000+0.5 Y` and `I=2,000`, calculate : (i) Equilibrium level of income. (ii) Saving at equilibrium level of income.

Answer» (i) `Y=C+I=1000+0.5 Y+2000=3000+0.5 Y`
or `0.5 Y=3000`
`Y=6000`
(ii) `S=Y-C=6000-(1000+0.5xx6000)`.
`=6000-4000=2000`.
3.

In an economy `C=500+0.9 Y` and `I=1,000` (where `C=` consumption, `Y=` income, `I=` investment). Calculate the following : (i) Equilibrium level of income. (ii) Consumption expenditure at equilibrium level of income.

Answer» given `Y=C+I`
(i) `Y=500+0.9 Y+1000`
`Y=1500+0.9 Y` or `0.1 Y=1,500`
`Y=` Rs. `15,000`
(ii) `C=Y-I=15,000-1,000=` Rs. `14,000`.
4.

The consumption function curve is :A. Upward slopingB. Downward slopingC. Parallel to the X-axisD. Parallel to the Y-axis

Answer» Correct Answer - A
5.

Value of multiplier is determined by :A. MPSB. MPCC. Both (a) and (b)D. Investment

Answer» Correct Answer - C
6.

In an economy, every time the income rises, `75` percent of the rise in income is spent on consumption. Now suppose in the same economy investment rises by Rs. `750` crore. Calculate : (i) change in income, (ii) change in saving.

Answer» (i) `MPC=0.75, :. MPS=0.25`
`:. K=1/(1-MPC)=1/(1-0.75)=4`
`:. DeltaY=K. Delta I=4xx750` crore = Rs. `3,000` crore
`133`
(ii) `DeltaS=DeltaY-DeltaC=3,000-(0.75xx3,000)`
`=3000-2250` crore = Rs. `750` crore.
