Investment multiplier refers to the increase in the aggregate income of the economy as a result of an increase in the investments done by the government. The ratio of ΔY to ΔI is called the investment multiplier. K = \(\frac{ΔY}{ΔI}\) K = \(\frac{1}{\text{1-MPC}}\) K = \(\frac{1}{1-0.6}\) K = \(\frac{1}{0.4}\) K = 2.5 Now, we know that K = 2.5 and change in initial investment is Rs. 2,000 crore So, K = \(\frac{ΔY}{ΔI}\) 2.5 = \(\frac{ΔY}{2,000}\) ΔY = 5,000 |
