Question:

A change in investment in an economy by ₹2,000 crores leads to an increase in its national income by ₹8,000 crores. What will be the change in consumption ?

Options:

₹6,400 crores

₹6,600 crores

₹6,000 crores

₹6,200 crores

Correct Answer:

₹6,000 crores

Explanation:

The correct answer is option (3) : ₹6,000 crores

1. Calculate the Multiplier:

Multiplier = Change in National Income / Change in Investment

Multiplier = ₹8,000 crores / ₹2,000 crores = 4

2.Multiplier=ΔIY

1/ (1-MPC) = 4
 
On further simplification,
 
MPC= 3/4

The formula to find the change in consumption (ΔC) is:

ΔC=MPC×ΔY

    = 3/4 *8000

    = 6,000 cr
