MPC = 0.6 Autonomous Investment = ₹ 80 Crores Initial Income = ₹ 100 Crores Let us assume, Autonomous Consumption = ₹ 40 Crores Change in Income = ₹ 100 Crores.
y C S I DC = MPC × 0.4 AD = C + I
100 40 + 60 = 100 0 80 0.6 × 100 = 60 180
200 100 + 60 = 160 0 80 0.6 × 100 = 60 240
300 160 + 60 = 220 0 80 0.6 × 100 = 60 300
400 220 + 60 = 280 0 80 0.6 × 100 = 60 360
500 280 + 60 = 340 0 80 0.6 × 100 = 60 420
600 340 + 60 = 400 0 80 0.6 × 100 = 60 480
700 400 + 60 = 460 0 80 0.6 × 100 = 60 540
At Equilibrium level of Income, Aggregate Demand (AD) = Aggregate Supply (AS)$\text{C}+\text{I}=\text{y}$
$\bar{\text{C}}+\text{by}+\text{I}=\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow\ 40+(0.6\times\text{y})+80=\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow\ 120+0.6\text{y}=\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow\ 120=\text{y}-0.6\text{y}\Rightarrow\ 120=0.4\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{y}=\frac{120}{0.4}\times\Rightarrow\ \text{₹ }300\text{ Crores}$
