Equilibrium beyond the full employment level does not lead to rise in output level. 

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The level of output will not rise as economy is already at full employment level and there is no idle capacity in the economy.

According to Keynes, the equilibrium level of income is always determined corresponding to full employment level. 

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

False.
 The equilibrium level on income may be determined at a level less than full employment where the market is clear even in under utilization of resources , more than the full employment where market is clear even if resources are over utilized or equal to level of full employment. 

 In determination of Equilibrium Level of Income by AD-AS approach, AD curve is represented by ____________.

  1. (C + S) curve

  2. (C + I) curve

  3. (S + I) curve

  4. (C +Y) curve


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Aggregate Demand refers to the desired level of expenditure in the economy during an accounting year. It is what people wish to spend on the purchase of goods and services during an accounting year.

The Ad curve in income determination analysis represents a two sector economy which only includes the expenditure made by the consumer sector and the producer sector.

Therefore, aggregate demand = consumption + investment = C + I.

The two approaches to determination of the equilibrium level of income are:

  1. Aggregate demand-Aggregate supply approach

  2. Saving-Investment approach

  3. Demand-Supply approach

  4. Both A & B


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Two approaches are:

1) Aggregate demand-Aggregate supply approach-
An economy is in equilibrium when aggregate demand for goods and services is equal to aggregate supply during a period of time.

So, equilibrium is achieved when:

AD = AS … (1)

We know, AD is the sum total of Consumption (C) and Investment (I):

AD = C + I … (2)

Also, AS is the sum total of consumption (C) and saving (S):

AS = C + S … (3)

Substituting (2) and (3) in (1), we get:

C + S = C + I.....(4)

2)Saving-Investment approach 

According to this approach, the equilibrium level of income is determined at a level, when planned saving (S) is equal to planned investment (I).

from equation( 4)

 S = I
