Question:

Measure the level of ex-ante aggregate demand when autonomous investment and consumption expenditure (A) is Rs 80 crores, and MPC is 0.75.

Options:

80 crore

160 crore

320 crore

640 crore

Correct Answer:

320 crore

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → 320 crore

We are given:
Autonomous expenditure (A) = ₹80 crores
Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) = 0.75

At equilibrium, AD=Y

Y= [1 / (1 - MPC)] * A

Multiplier= 1 / (1 - MPC) = 1/0.25 = 4

Y= 4 * 80 = 320
