What will be the difference between original and the new equilibrium level of income, when the investment rise from 10 to 20 at given consumption function C= 40 + 0.8Y?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

With C=40+0.8YC = 40 + 0.8Y, MPC =0.8= 0.8, so the multiplier is 11−0.8=5\frac{1}{1-0.8} = 5. Investment rises by ΔI=20−10=10\Delta I = 20 - 10 = 10. The change in equilibrium income is ΔY=5×10=50\Delta Y = 5 \times 10 = 50.
