•  In order to bring the panned inventory to its desired level the
                              producer will increase production resulting a rise in in
                              employment, output, national income and saving.

               EX: -    = 100 + 0.4   is the consumption function of a economy, where C is the
               consumption and Y is the national income.   Investment expenditure is 1100.
               calculate

                       a.     Equilibrium level of national income.


                       b.     Consumption expenditure at equilibrium level of national
                       income.
               Answer: - At the point of equilibrium      =     


                                                   =>    +    =   

                                             => 100 + 0.4   + 1100 =   

                                             => 0.4   + 1200 =   

                                             => 1200 =     − 0.4  

                                            => 1200 = 0.6  

                                                        1200

                       At the point of equilibrium S =   


                                     => −100 + 0.6   = 1100

                                     => 0.6   = 1200

                                                    1200

                                                     0.6

                           b.  At the point of equilibrium, the consumption expenditure is

                                         = 100 + 0.4  

                                        = 100 + 0.4 × 2000

                                        = 100 + 800 = 900.
