(Q1) Giving reasons, state whether the following statements are true or false :

(4M)

(i) When marginal propensity to consume is zero, the value of investment multiplier will
also be zero
(ii) If the ratio of marginal propensity to consume and marginal propensity to save is 4 :1,
the value of investment multiplier will be 4..

(Q2) In an economy the equilibrium level of income is Rs. 12,000 crore. The ratio of marginal propensity to consume and marginal propensity to save is 3: 1. Calculate the additional investment needed to reach a new equilibrium level of income of Rs. 20,000 crore.

(4M)

(Q3) In an economy income increases by 10,000 as a result of a rise in investment expenditure by 1,000. Calculate:
(a) Investment Multiplier

(b) Marginal Propensity to Consume.

(3 M)

(Q4) The saving function of an economy is S = - 200 + .25Y. The economy is in equilibrium when
income is equal to 2000. Calculate
(a) Investment expenditure at equilibrium level of output
(b) Autonomous consumption
(c) Investment multiplier

(Q5) Give the meaning of ex-ante saving and ex-ante investment ?

(Q6) Giving reasons, state whether the following statements are true or false :

(4M)

(a) When MPC is greater than MPS ,the value of multiplier will be greater than 5
(b) when investment multiplier is 1 , the value of MPC is 0
(c) the value of investment multiplier varies between zero and infinity
(d) there is inverse relationship between MPS and investment multiplier

Ans :: False not allways , only when if MPC is greater than 0.8 , True , False , True
