Question:

Assume, for a hypothetical economy, the following data is given :

Income (Y)Consumption (C)Investment (I)Aggregate Demand (AD)
0402060
10012020–
20020020–
30028020300

Calculate the missing values in the given schedule.

Show Hint

Add consumption and investment in each row. AD = C + I, so AD is 120 + 20 = 140 at Y = 100 and 200 + 20 = 220 at Y = 200.

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Recall the formula:
In a two sector economy, Aggregate Demand is the sum of consumption and investment. So AD = C + I.
We can check this on the given rows first. At Y = 0, C = 40 and I = 20, so AD = 60. At Y = 300, C = 280 and I = 20, so AD = 300. Both match the table.

Step 2: Missing value at Y = 100:
Here C = 120 and I = 20.
\[ AD = C + I = 120 + 20 = 140 \]

Step 3: Missing value at Y = 200:
Here C = 200 and I = 20.
\[ AD = C + I = 200 + 20 = 220 \]

Step 4: Completed schedule:
Income (Y)Consumption (C)Investment (I)Aggregate Demand (AD = C + I)
0402060
10012020140
20020020220
30028020300


Final Answer:
The missing values of Aggregate Demand are 140 (at Y = 100) and 220 (at Y = 200).
\[ \boxed{AD = 140 \text{ and } 220} \]
