Arrange the following steps of determination of equilibrium income in chronological order if

C = 40 + 0.8Y, I = 10.

(A) Y = C + I

(B) 0.2Y = 50

(C) Y = 50 + 0.8Y

(D) Y = 250

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. (A), (B), (C), (D)
  2. (A), (C), (B), (D)
  3. (B), (A), (D), (C)
  4. (C), (B), (D), (A)

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 2: (A), (C), (B), (D) -> The correct chronological order for determining equilibrium income starts with the equilibrium condition Y = C + I, then substituting the given values to get Y = 50 + 0.8Y, followed by rearranging to isolate Y terms as 0.2Y = 50, and finally solving to get Y = 250. This follows the logical sequence of: stating the equilibrium condition → substitution → algebraic rearrangement → final solution. -> correct
