Which of the following is used in determining the level of equilibrium income ? |
Aggregate demand and investment Aggregate demand and consumption Aggregate demand and national income Aggregate demand and saving |
Aggregate demand and national income |
The correct answer is option 3: Aggregate demand and national income The level of equilibrium income is determined by the intersection of aggregate demand and national income.
When aggregate demand equals national income, the economy is in equilibrium. This means that the total amount of goods and services produced (national income) is equal to the total amount demanded by consumers, businesses, and the government (aggregate demand). National income, i.e., Y is equal to Aggregate Supply, i.e., AS. And equilibrium happens when AD =AS. So, as per options given in the question, equilibrium income is determined when AD and Y are equal. |
