Macro Economics: Determination of Income and Employment

Question:

In an Economy, total savings are Rs. 2000 crores and the ratio of average propensity to save and average propensity to consume is 2 : 7. Calculate the level of income in the economy?

Options:

2000 crores.

7000 crores.

9000 crores.

14,000 crores.

Correct Answer:

9000 crores.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → 9000 crores.

We are given:

  • Total Savings (S) = Rs. 2000 crores

  • APS : APC = 2 : 7

We know: APS APC=1
Let APS = 2x and APC = 7x, then: 2x + 7x = 1 
x= 1/ 9

So:

  • APS = 2x = 2/9

  • APC = 7x = 7/9

We Know APS= S /Y 
2/9 =2000/Y
Y = (2000*9) / 2
Y =9,000
