Question:

If the value of Investment Multiplier is 5 and the increased income is ₹800 crore in an economy, then find the value of change in the investment in the economy.

Options:

₹4000 crore

₹120 crore

₹400 crore

₹160 crore

Correct Answer:

₹160 crore

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → ₹160 crore

Investment Multiplier (k) = 5

Increased Income (ΔY) = ₹800 crore
 
Investment Multiplier (k)=ΔY /ΔI
 
Change in the investment (ΔI) = (ΔY)/k
 
ΔI = 800/5 = ₹160 crore
 
Change in the investment (ΔI) = ₹160 crore
