Question 1. Find out the equilibrium level of national income when autonomous
consumption is $100. MPC is 0.8 and autonomous investment is $50.
Ans.
Y=C+1
And
C = a + by
Y = a + bY + 1
Or
y = 100 + 0.8Y + 50
Or
y -0.8y = 150
Or
0.2Y = 150
1
0.2
= $750

Y=C+1
Or
Y = a + bY + 1
Or
Y bY = a + 1
Or
Y(1 b) = a +1

Question 2. Calculate the GDP in a closed economy with no government where C = 100 +
0.8Y and 1 = 1000.
Ans.
Y=C+1
= 100 + 0.8Y + 1000

Question. 3. Show the equilibrium level of GDP where I is 1000, a is 100 and b is 0.75.
= C+1
= a + bY + 1
= 100 + 0.75 Y + 1000

Ans.
(i)The Saving function when C = 100 + 0.8Y
S=YC
= y ( 100 + 0.8Y)
= y 100 0.8Y
= -100 + 0.2Y
(ii) Level at which saving will be zero when
Y=C
YC=0
Or
Y (100 + 0.8Y) = 0
Or
Y 100 0.8Y = 0
Or
Y 0.8Y = 100
0.2 Y = 100
Y=
100
0.2
= 500
At Y = 500. C = 100 + 0.8(500) = 500
Thus Y C = 500 500 = 0.
(iii) When 1 is 1000, the level at which S = 1 will be
S=1
Putting the value of S from part (i) and given value of 1 = 1000
-100 + 0.2Y = 1000
0.2Y = 1000 + 100
Y=
1100
0.2
= 1100 5

= 5500
When Y = 5500, saving is
S = -100 + 0.2 (5500)
S =-100 + 1100
= 1000
Which is equal to 1 given value of 1 =1000?
Question.5. Using Saving Investment equality, find out the equilibrium level of national
income when autonomous consumption is $100. MPC is 0.8 and autonomous investment is
$50.
Ans. National Income equilibrium is attained where
S=1
