Answer: Option D. -> (i) 14,100 (ii) 7,100                         
:
D
(i) Given, S = - 50 + 0.5Y
and I = 7,000
At the equilibrium level,
S = I
-50 + 0.5Y = 7,000
0.5Y = 7,000 + 50
0.5Y = 7,050
Y=7,0500.5
Y = 14,100
(ii) At Y = 14,100
Saving, S = - 50 + 0.5(14,100)
= - 50 + 7,050
S = 7,000
Consumption expenditure, C = Y - S
=14,1007,000
=7,100
Alternative Method
At equilibrium level,
Saving = Investment
Saving = 7,000
Consumption expenditure, C = Y - S
= 14,100 - 7,000
= 7,100.
(i) Equilibrium level of national income = 14,100.
(ii) Consumption expenditure at equilibrium level of national income = 7,100.
Question 22. MPC + MPS > 1.

  2.    False
  3.    0.3
  4.    0.4
 Discuss Question

:
B
False. MPC + MPS = 1, it can never be greater than or less than 1.
Question 23. Given, the consumption function, C = 150 + 0.6Y, where C = consumption expenditure, Y = income and investment expenditure = Rs 2,000. Calculate:
(i) Equilibrium level of national income
(ii) Consumption at equilibrium level of national income
(iii) Saving at equilibrium level of national income
  1.    (i) Rs 5,375 (ii) Rs 3,375 (iii) Rs 2,300
  2.    (i) Rs 5,375 (ii) Rs 3,375 (iii) Rs 2,000
  3.    (i) Rs 3,375 (ii) Rs 4,375 (iii) Rs 2,000
  4.    (i) Rs 8,750 (ii) Rs 3,375 (iii) Rs 2,000
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> (i) Rs 5,375 (ii) Rs 3,375 (iii) Rs 2,000
:
B
(i) Given, C = 150 + 0.6Y and I = 2,000
At the equilibrium level,
Y = C + I
Y = 150 + 0.6Y + 2,000 Y = 2,150 + 0.6Y
Y - 0.6Y = 2,150 0.4Y = 2,150
Y=2,1500.4=5,375
(ii) Consumption, C = 150 +0.6(5,375)
= 150 + 3,225 = 3,375
(iii) We know that, Y = C + S
S = Y - C = 5,375 - 3,375 = 2,000
Alternatively,
Given : C = 150 + 0.6Y,
S = -150 + 0.4Y ( MPC = 0.6, accordingly MPS = 1 - 0.6 = 0.4)
Or, S= -150 + 0.4(5,375)
= -150 + 2,150 = 2,000.
(i) Equilibrium level of national income = Rs 5,375.
(ii) Consumption expenditure at equilibrium level of national income = Rs 3,375.
(iii) Saving at equilibrium level of national income = Rs 2,000.
Question 24. If MPS is 0.6, what will be ΔS when income increases by Rs 100?
  1.    Rs 60
  2.    Rs 50
  3.    Rs 40
  4.    Rs 70
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Rs 60
:
A
MPS = ΔSΔY
ΔS = MPS *ΔY
= 0.6 * 100
= Rs. 60
Question 25. Find out the value of the multiplier, if MPC is zero.
  1.    0
  2.    1
  3.    Infinity
  4.    Cannot be determined
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1
:
B
Multiplier = 11MPC
= 1.
Question 26. When C = 300 + 0.8Y and Y = 1,000, saving at zero income level will be
  1.    300
  2.    -300
  3.    1,100
  4.    800
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> -300
:
B
C + S = Y
At zero income level,
C = -S
When Y = 0, C = 300 + 0.8(0) = 300
Therefore, S = -300
Question 27. If MPC increases, the value of multiplier will
  1.    Increase
  2.    Decrease
  3.    Remains constant
  4.    Increase as much as the increase in MPC
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Increase
:
A
If MPC increases, the value of multiplier will increase.
Question 28. If MPC = MPS, the value of multiplier will be:
  1.    0
  2.    1
  3.    2
  4.    ∞
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 2
:
C
If MPC = MPS, then, MPC = MPS = 0.5.
Multiplier = 110.5
= 2
Question 29. On account of an injection of aggregate demand, the equilibrium level of income 
  1.    Increases
  2.    Decreases
  3.    Remains constant
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Increases
:
A
On account of an injection of aggregate demand, the equilibrium level of income increases.
Question 30. Find incremental investment when equilibrium GDP increases by Rs 50,000 and half of additional income is always saved in the economy.
  1.    Rs 25,000
  2.    Rs 35,000
  3.    Rs 15,000
  4.    Rs 50,000
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Rs 25,000
:
A
Change in savings =50,000×12=25,000
We know, MPS=ΔSΔY=25,00050,000=0.5
We know,
Multiplier (M)=11MPC=1MPS
Or, M=ΔYΔI
Now, MPS = 0.5, we get ΔI=ΔYM
=50,0002=25,000 [M=1MPS=10.5=2]
Increase in GDP by Rs 50,000 is caused by increase in investment of Rs 25,000.
