Macro Economics: Determination of Income and Employment

Question:

C = 40 + 0.8Y and I = 10, then what will be the equilibrium level of income?

Options:

-300

-250

300

250

Correct Answer:

250

Explanation:

The equilibrium level of income is determined by setting aggregate demand equal to aggregate supply.

In the given scenario, the aggregate demand (C) is given by C=40+0.8Y and I =10.

The equilibrium level of income is found by setting C+I=Y

40+0.8Y+10=Y

50=0.2 Y

Y=50/0.2=250

So, the equilibrium level of income is 250
