Question:

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

Income (Y)Consumption (C)Investment (I)Aggregate Demand (AD)
0504090
10012040–
20019040–
30026040300

Calculate the missing values in the given schedule.

Show Hint

Aggregate demand equals consumption plus investment. So AD at Y = 100 is 120 + 40 = 160, and AD at Y = 200 is 190 + 40 = 230.

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understand the concept:
Aggregate Demand (AD) is the total planned spending in the economy. In this two-sector data it is the sum of consumption (C) and investment (I).

Step 2: Key formula:
\[ AD = C + I \]

Step 3: Check the formula on the given rows:
At Y = 0, C + I = 50 + 40 = 90. This matches the given AD of 90.
At Y = 300, C + I = 260 + 40 = 300. This matches the given AD of 300.
So the formula fits the data.

Step 4: Missing value at Y = 100:
\[ AD = 120 + 40 = 160 \]

Step 5: Missing value at Y = 200:
\[ AD = 190 + 40 = 230 \]

Step 6: Completed schedule:
Income (Y)Consumption (C)Investment (I)Aggregate Demand (AD)
0504090
10012040160
20019040230
30026040300


Final Answer:
The missing values of AD are 160 (at Y = 100) and 230 (at Y = 200). \[ \boxed{160 \text{ and } 230} \]
