Estimate the value of Aggretate Demand in a economy if : (a) Autonomous Investment (I) = 100 crores (b) Marginal Propenstiy to save = 0.2 (c) Level of Income (Y) = 4,000 crores (d) Autonomous Consumption Expenditure(c) = 50 crores. OR In an economy C = 200 + 0.5 Y is the compsumption function where C is the consumption expenditure and Y is the national income . Investment expenditure is ₹ 400 crores . Is the economy in equilibrium at an income level ₹ 1,500 crores ? Jusifty your answer.

Answer» Aggregate Demand (AD) function is given as:
AD = C+ I
AD = `{barC + b(Y)} + I`
`barc = 50` (Given)
b or MPC = 1 - MPS = 1 -0.2 = 0.8
Substituting the values of of `barC` and b in AD function, we get :
AD = {50 + 0.8 ( 4,000)}+ 100 = ₹ 3,350 crores
OR
No, the Economy is not in a state of equilibrium at 1,500 crores
Given : Consumption Function , C= 200 + 0.5 Y
Investment Expenditure (I) = 400 crores
At the equilibrium level
Y =C + I
Substituting the value from the question:
Y= { 200 + 0.25Y} + 400
Y-0.5 Y = 600
0.5 Y = 600
Y = 600/ 0.5 = ₹ 1,200 crores.
The equilibrium level of income is ₹ 1,200 crores. The given income ₹ crores is greater than equilibrium level of income . Therefore, the economy is not in equilibrium.
