Question
At the break-even point level of incomes for the economy is ₹ 10,000 crores and if the people tends to save 20 per cent of their additional income, then calcualte the value of autonomous consumption.
Solution
C = `bar"C"` + by ...[At Break even point]
10,000 = `bar"C"` + 0·8 (10,000)
10,000 = `bar"C"` + 8,000
10,000 - 8,000 = `bar"C"`
`bar"C"` = 2000 crores
Working Notes:
b = MPC
C = Y
S = 0
C = 10,000
MPS = 0.2 (given)
MPC = 1 - MPS
= 1 - 0.2
= 0.8
