Answer» Solution :At the EQUILIBRIUM level `Y=C+I` Substitutingthe values `Y={200+0.5 Y}+400` `Y-0.5Y=600` `0.5Y=600` `Y=(600)/(0.5)=1,200` The EQUILIBRIUMLEVEL of INCOME is Rs. 1,200 crores. THEGIVEN income Rs. 1,500 CRORE is greater thanequilibriumlevel of income. Therefore, the economy is not equilibrium. |
