Calculate Change in Income (ΔY) for a hypothetical economy. Given that:
a) Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) = 0.8, and
b) Change in Investment (ΔI) = ₹1,000 crores
(2 Marks)
Answer
Given Δ I = ₹1,000 crores
MPC = 0.8
As we know,
Multiplier (K) = (1/1-MPC)
K= (1/1-0.8)
K= (1/ 0.2)
K= 5 times
We know K = ΔF/ Δ I
5 = 𝛥 F/1000
ΔY = ₹ 5,000 crores
