In an Economy, the value of multiplier is 4 times, and autonomous consumption is ₹30 crore. The relevant consumption function for this economy would be : |
C= 30 + 0.75 y C= (-) 30-0,75 y C= 30 - 0.75y C= 30 - 0.25 y |
C= 30 + 0.75 y |
The correct answer is option (1) : C= 30 + 0.75 y The relevant consumption function for this economy can be determined from the multiplier (k) and the autonomous consumption $(C_0$) using the formula : $k=\frac{1}{1-c}$ where c is the marginal propensity to consume. Thus, $4=\frac{1}{1-c}$ 4 (1 - c) = 1 c=3/4=.75 Thus, MPC (c)= 0.75 The consumption function is then : $C=C_0+cY$ Substituting the values : $C= 30+\frac{3}{4Y}$ Therefore, the relevant consumption function for this economy is : $C= 30+0.75Y$ |
