Define production function.

A consumer consumes only two goods A and B and is in equilibrium. Show that when price of good B falls, demand for B rises. Answer this question with the help of utility analysis

Distinguish between marginal propensity to consume and average propensity to consume. Give a numerical example.

In an economy investment is increased by Rs. 300 crore. If marginal propensity to consume is 2/3, calculate increase in national income.

(ii) Net current transfer to abroad                                                                   20

(iii) Net factor income paid to abroad                                                              10

(iv) Profit                                                                                                    400

(xi) Royalty                                                                                                  50

Define marginal propensity to consume

Calculate investment expenditure from the following data about an economy which is in equilibrium:
National income = 1000
Marginal propensity to save = 0.25
Autonomous consumption expenditure = 200

Given the price of a good, how does a consumer decide as to how much of the good to buy?

C = 100 + 0.4 Y is the Consumption Function of an economy where C is Consumption Expenditure and Y is National Income. Investment expenditure is 1.100. Calculate

(i) Equilibrium level of National Income.

(ii) Consumption expenditure at equilibrium level of national income.

Complete the following table:-

Calculate National Income from the following data:

Find national income from the following:

Autonomous consumption = Rs100
Marginal propensity to consume = 0.80
Investment = Rs 50

Giving reason explain how should the following be treated in estimating national income:

i. Expenditure on fertilizers by a farmer.
ii. Purchase of tractor by a farmer.
