JNU SSS 2014 Question 43: IS-LM model

Suppose there is a closed economy without government expenditure or taxation in which aggregate consumption expenditure CCC is the following function of aggregate income YYY and the rate of interest (expressed per cent) rrr : C=388+0⋅75Y−15rC = 388 + 0{\cdot}75Y - 15rC=388+0⋅75Y−15r. Suppose investment expenditure III is given by the following function : I=1863+0⋅05Y−25rI = 1863 + 0{\cdot}05Y - 25rI=1863+0⋅05Y−25r

If the rate of interest is fixed at 15%, what is the value of aggregate income at which the values of demand and supply for goods and services are equalized in the economy?

Plain-text version

Suppose there is a closed economy without government expenditure or taxation in which aggregate consumption expenditure C is the following function of aggregate income Y and the rate of interest (expressed per cent) r: C = 388 + 0·75Y - 15r. Suppose investment expenditure I is given by the following function: I = 1863 + 0·05Y - 25r If the rate of interest is fixed at 15%, what is the value of aggregate income at which the values of demand and supply for goods and services are equalized in the economy? (A) 5575 (B) 6825 (C) 7675 (D) 8255

Also written as: Suppose there is a closed economy without government expenditure or taxation in which aggregate consumption expenditure C is the following function of aggregate income Y and the rate of interest (expressed per cent) r: C = 388 + 0*75Y - 15r. Suppose investment expenditure I is given by the following function: I = 1863 + 0*05Y - 25r If the rate of interest is fixed at 15%, what is the value of aggregate income at which the values of demand and supply for goods and services are equalized in the economy?
