Macro Economics: Determination of Income and Employment

Question:

A hypothetical economy tends to save only 25% of its additional income. How much additional income would be generated by it if the investment is increased by 50 crores?

Options:

50 crores

100 crores

200 crores

250 crores

Correct Answer:

200 crores

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → 200 crores

Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS) = 25% = 0.25
Increase in Investment (ΔI) = ₹50 crores

k = 1/ MPS

   = 1 / 0.25 = 4

ΔYK × ΔI = 4×50 =200 crores
