2. Given: Autonomous Consumption (C) = ₹ 60 crores; MPC or b = 0.6. To make the diagram, let us first calculate consumption
expenditure corresponding to different income levels.

C = c + b(Y)

0 60 (= 60 + 0.6 × 0)

100 120 (= 60 + 0.6 × 100)

200 180 (= 60 + 0.6 × 200)

300 240 (= 60 + 0.6 × 300)

400 300 (= 60 + 0.6 × 400)


3. In the given diagram, SS' is the saving curve which shows negative savings equal to OS at zero level of income and zero saving at
OA level of income.

At zero level of income, consumption expenditure is equal to OC which is equal to negative saving of OS at that level of

E
income. So, C is the starting point of consumption curve.
Savings are zero at OA level of income as the whole of income is spent. So, at OA level of income, consumption

EM RC
expenditure must be equal to OD = OA. This gives a point Bon the consumption curve.
By joining C and B and extending it further, we get consumption curve.
At point B on the consumption curve, total consumption expenditure (C) is equal to total income (V). So, C

Y
= 1. Hence, at point
B, on consumption curve, APC = 1.

4. i. We know, Income (Y) = Consumption + Saving (S)
Or, S = Y - C
AD M
∴ S = Y - (120 + 0.40Y) = -120 + (1 - 0.40)Y

Y
∴ S = - 120 + 0.60 (Y)
AC OM
Alternate Way: Consumption function is expressed as: C = c̄ + b(Y)
It means:120 is the autonomous consumption (c ) and 0.40 indicates MPC or b

Saving Function is given as:S = - c + (1 - b)Y

MPS or (1 - b) = 1 - MPC = 1 - 0040 = 0.60


Putting the values of (1 - b) or MPS and -c̄ , we get: S = - 120 +0.60 (Y)

ii. For saving at income (Y) of ₹ 500 crores, putting the values of (1 - b), C and Y in the saving function, we get: S = - 120 + 0.60
× 500 = ₹ 180 crores

iii. Saving will become zero at break-even point, i.e, when Y = C.


Replacing C with Y in the consumption function to determine the break-even point.
Y = 120 + 0.40Y
ID

0.6 Y = 120
Y = 200
Saving will become zero at income level of ₹ 200 crores
