Question
Consider the following statements:
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
- Decrease in investments will lead to depletion of capital stock in the economy
- A decrease in investments will lead to an increase in the incremental capital-output ratio
- A decrease in investments will lead to a decrease in the production of goods and services
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Answer: Option D
Answer: (d)
If investments are decreasing that means there is less production of capital goods in the economy but that does not mean that the existing capital stock will decrease. The existing capital stock will keep on increasing even if investments are decreasing. So, (i) statement is false.
And since existing capital stock will keep on increasing, therefore production of goods and services i.e. GDP will keep on increasing. So, (iii) statement is false.
If investments are decreasing, that means the production of capital goods is decreasing. Then you can’t say anything about the productivity of capital i.e. ICOR.
So, (ii) stamen is also false.
