JNU SSS 2011 Question 11: Keynesian cross and the multiplier
Consider an economy wherein equilibrium level of aggregate income (Y) is the sum of aggregate investment expenditure (I) and aggregate consumption expenditure (C). For values of Y≤1500, C=200+0⋅6Y and any amount of aggregate income in excess of 1500 currency units is entirely saved in the economy. If the full employment level of Y=1750, the minimum value of I necessary to ensure full employment in the economy is

Plain-text version
Consider an economy wherein equilibrium level of aggregate income (Y) is the sum of aggregate investment expenditure (I) and aggregate consumption expenditure (C). For values of Y ≤ 1500, C = 200 + 0· 6Y and any amount of aggregate income in excess of 1500 currency units is entirely saved in the economy. If the full employment level of Y = 1750, the minimum value of I necessary to ensure full employment in the economy is (A) 500 (B) 550 (C) 600 (D) None of the above
Also written as: Consider an economy wherein equilibrium level of aggregate income (Y) is the sum of aggregate investment expenditure (I) and aggregate consumption expenditure (C). For values of Y <= 1500, C = 200 + 0* 6Y and any amount of aggregate income in excess of 1500 currency units is entirely saved in the economy. If the full employment level of Y = 1750, the minimum value of I necessary to ensure full employment in the economy is
