Total Questions : 30 | Page 1 of 3 pages
Question 1. If aggregate demand increases, aggregate supply will increase only when there is(are)
  1.    Excess capacity
  2.    Under utilisation of the existing resources
  3.    Over utilisation of the existing resources
  4.    Both A and B
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Both A and B
:
D
If aggregate demand increases, aggregate supply will increase only when there are an excess capacity and under-utilisation of the existing resources.
Question 2. The value of marginal propensity to save is always positive.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    1
  4.    ∞
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
True. Marginal propensity to save is the ratio between additional saving and additional income which is always positive because of positive relationship between saving and income.
Question 3. There is a direct relationship between MPC and value of investment multiplier.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    0.3
  4.    0.4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
True, there is a direct relationship between MPC and value of investment multiplier. Higher the value of MPC, higher the investment multiplier and vice cersa. Because,
M=11MPC
Question 4. If the marginal propensity to save decreases, the value of the multiplier will
  1.    Increase
  2.    Decrease
  3.    Remain constant
  4.    Decrease as much as the decrease in MPS
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Increase
:
A
If the marginal propensity to save decreases, the value of the multiplier will increase.
Question 5. If investment increases from 400 to 600 and income increases from 3,000 to 4,000, the MPS should be equal to
  1.    0.1
  2.    0.2
  3.    0.3
  4.    0.4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 0.2
:
B
Multiplier (M) = ΔYΔA
= (40003000)(600400)
= 5
MPS = 1M
=15
= 0.2
Question 6. If autonomous expenditure by the government increases by Rs 5,000, find increase in equilibrium GDP when half of income is always spent on the purchase of goods for consumption.
  1.    5,000
  2.    10,000
  3.    10,500
  4.    0
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 10,000
:
B
ΔY=11MPC.ΔA [Where A is autonomous expenditure by the government]
=110.5×5,000=5,0000.5=10,000.
Question 7. Saving can never be negative.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    0.3
  4.    0.4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
False. Saving can be negative when consumption is greater than income. Negative saving amounts to borrowing.
Question 8. Find MPC when investment multiplier = 1.
  1.    1.2
  2.    1
  3.    0
  4.    1.5
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 0
:
C
M(multiplier) =11MPC
Given that, 11MPC=11=1MPC
MPC = 1 - 1 = 0
Thus, when M = 1, MPC = 0.
Question 9. If income increases from 3,000 to 4,000, and autonomous investment increases by 200, the MPC should be
  1.    0.9
  2.    0.8
  3.    0.7
  4.    0.6
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 0.8
:
B
Multiplier (M) = ΔYΔA
= (40003000)200
= 5
MPS = 1M = 0.2
Therefore, MPC = 1 - MPS = 0.8
Question 10. Saving can never be negative.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Infinity
  4.    Cannot be determined
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
False. Saving can be negative when consumption is greater than income. Negative saving amounts to borrowing.
