Macro Economics: Determination of Income and Employment

Question:

If C = X + 0.6Y & Investment is ₹ 1,500, Equilibrium level of income in economy would be 4050. Find out the autonomous consumption.

Options:

-120

100

120

-100

Correct Answer:

120

Explanation:

C = X + 0.6Y : In this X represents autonomous Consumption, while 0.6 Y represents induced Consumption.

The equilibrium level of income (4,050) is achieved when aggregate demand (C + I) equals aggregate supply (Y).

i.e. Y= C + I

4050= X + 0.6*4050 + 1500

X= 4050-2430-1500

X= 120

Autonomous Consumption (X)= 120
