Q.1. (a) Differentiate between Aggregate demand and Aggregate supply
(b) What is Deflationary Gap? Discuss it with the help of graphical depiction
Q.2. (a) If C = 40 +0.8 Yd, T = Go = 10, Io = 60, Find following
1. Equilibrium level for NI
2. Prove that S + To = Io + Go
3. Find the Value of Multiplier.
(b) Determine the Equilibrium level of NI in three Sector Economy when there is no Transfer of Payment. (assume general three sector model in which disposable income can be obtain by subtracting the taxes from sum of net income & TOP, Other usual conditions may also apply on the model, care should taken when driving the national income level at equilibrium because lack of necessary variable ‘ll lead to undesirable result, also transfer of payments remain autonomous for your consideration)
