We know that

If We calculate National Income by Expenditure format

 

National income = Consumption Expenditure + Investment Expenditure

National income = C + I

 

Now, we can calculate C by using Consumption function formula

 

it is represented by

C =Ĉ +b(Y)

where

C= Total Consumption

Ĉ = Autonomous Consumption

Y=Income

b=MPC

 

Now, we can calculate National income as follows

National income=C+I

National income=Ĉ +b(Y) +I

 

Example 31

Find national income from the following:

Autonomous Consumption = Rs 100

Marginal propensity to consume = 0.8

Investment = Rs 50

View answer

C =Ĉ +b(Y)

C = 100 + 0.8Y

Now

Y = C + I

Y = 100 + 0.8Y + 50

0.2Y = 150

Y = 750

Question 1

An economy is in equilibrium.

Calculate National Income from the following:

Ĉ = Autonomous Consumption = 100

MPS = 0.2

Investment = 200

View answer

At equilibrium

S = I = 200

S = -Ĉ + MPS(Y)

200 = -100 + 0.2Y

300/0.2 = Y

1500 = Y
