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 AnswerC =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 AnswerAt equilibrium
S = I = 200
S = -Ĉ + MPS(Y)
200 = -100 + 0.2Y
300/0.2 = Y
1500 = Y
