Question 11. When C = 100 + 0.5Y and Y = 1,000, autonomous consumption will be:
  1.    100
  2.    1,000
  3.    500
  4.    600
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 100
:
A
Autonomous consumption is the consumption which does not depend on income. In the given equation, when Y is zero, C = 100. Autonomous consumption is 100.
Question 12. If the value of the multiplier is 4, what will be the effect on the income of an economy if investment increases by Rs 100 crore?
  1.    Income will not change
  2.    Income will decrease by Rs 400 crore
  3.    Income will increase by Rs 400 crore
  4.    Income will increase by Rs 500 crore
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Income will increase by Rs 400 crore
:
C
Income will increase by Rs 400 crore.
Question 13. In an economy, the government makes some additional investment. Find its value when MPC = 0.5 and increase in income = Rs 1,000.
  1.    Rs 500
  2.    Rs 1,000
  3.    Rs 1,500
  4.    Rs 100
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Rs 500
:
A
We know,
M (multiplier) =ΔYΔI
We also know that, K=11MPC
Substituting the value of MPC, K=110.5=10.5=2
We know, K=ΔYΔI and ΔY=1,000
Thus, 1,000ΔI=2
ΔI=1,0002=500
Additional investment by the government = Rs 500.
Question 14. If MPC = 0.9, then value of multiplier will be :
  1.    6
  2.    9
  3.    10
  4.    12
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 10
:
C
Multiplier = 11MPC
= 110.9
= 10
Question 15. Output always increases when AD increases.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Income will increase by Rs 400 crore
  4.    Income will increase by Rs 500 crore
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
False. In response to increase in AD, output increases only till full employment equilibrium is struck in the economy.
Question 16. Find consumption when ¯C=100, MPC = 0.5 and Y = 2,000. Is there is greater increase in income as compared to consumption when income changes to 2,500?
  1.    Consumption = 1,350 Yes
  2.    Consumption = 1,350 No
  3.    Consumption = 1,150 No
  4.    Consumption = 1,150 Yes
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Consumption = 1,350 Yes
:
A
We know that,
C=¯C+MPC(Y)
When Y = 2,000, C=100+0.5(2,000)
=100+1,000
=1,100
We also know that,
Y = C + S
Or, S = Y - C
= 2,000 - 1,100 = 900
Consumption = 1,100
Saving = 900
When Y = 2,500
C = 100 + 0.5(2,500)
= 100 + 1,250 = 1,350
Change in C = 1,350 - 1,100 = 250
Change in Y= 2,500 - 2,000 = 500
Yes, income is greater than the increase in consumption when Y increases from 2,000 to 2,500.
Question 17. If entire additional income is converted into additional consumption, the value of multiplier will be
  1.    2
  2.    0
  3.    1
  4.    ∞
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. ->
:
D
Multiplier = 11MPC
If entire additional income is converted into additional consumption, MPC = 1.
Therefore, the value of multiplier will be infinity.
Question 18. Find C at equilibrium Y when Y = 6,000 AND C = 100 + 0.75Y.
  1.    4,500
  2.    4,600
  3.    5,000
  4.    3,900
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 4,600
:
B
Given, C = 100 + 0.75Y
OR, C = 100 + 0.75(6,000)
=100+75100×6,000
= 100 + 4,500 = 4,600.
Question 19. Multiplier is estimated as
  1.    1MPC
  2.    11−MPC
  3.    11+MPC
  4.    11−MPS
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 11−MPC
:
B
Multiplier=11MPC
Question 20. In an economy, 75 per cent of the increase in income is spent on consumption, Investment is increased by Rs 1,00 crore. Calculate :
(i) Total increase in income.
(ii) Total increase in consumption expenditure.
  1.    (i) Rs 4,000 crore (ii) Rs 3,000 crore
  2.    (i) Rs 3,000 crore (ii) Rs 3,000 crore
  3.    (i) Rs 3,000 crore (ii) Rs 4,000 crore
  4.    (i) Rs 5,000 crore (ii) Rs 3,000 crore
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> (i) Rs 4,000 crore (ii) Rs 3,000 crore
:
A
(i) 75 per cent of the increase in income is spent on consumption.
MPC=ΔCΔY=75100=0.75
Multiplier (M)=11MPC=110.75=10.25=4
We know, M=ΔYΔI
ΔY=M×ΔI
ΔY=4×1,000=4,000
(ii) Increase in consumption expenditure (ΔC)=MPC.ΔY
=0.75×4,000 (MPC=ΔCΔY), so that ΔC=MPC.ΔY)
=75100×4,000=3,000
(i) Total increase in income = Rs 4,000 crore.
(ii) Total increase in consumption expenditure = Rs 3,000 crore.
