In a hypothetical economy, the consumption function is given as $C = 100 + 0.75Y$. The autonomous investment in the economy is 200 crores. The equilibrium level of income would be? |
1200 crores 1500 crores 1800 crores 2000 crores |
1200 crores |
The correct answer is Option (1) → 1200 crores Consumption function: C=100+0.75Y At equilibrium: Y=C+I Y = 100 + 0.75 Y + 200 Y − 0.75Y = 300 Y =300/0.25 = 1200 The equilibrium level of income is 1200 crores, where aggregate demand (C + I) equals aggregate output (Y). |
