In an economy, C = ₹ 300 + 0.5Y and I = 3600 (where, C = Consumption, Y = Income, 1 = Investment). Calculate the following:
  1. Equilibrium level of income.
  2. Consumption expenditure at equilibrium income.

  1. Here, I = ₹ 600 and C = 300 + 0.5Y
Now, we know that, Y = C + I

⇒ Y = 300 + 0.5Y + 600

Y - 0.5Y = 900

0.5Y = 900

So, $\text{Y}=\frac{900}{0.5}=1,800$
  1. Again, Y = C + I
1,800 = C + 600

So, C = 1,800 - 600 = ₹ 1,200
