the answer is D...because Y=C+I
therefore Y= 100+.8Y+40
therefore Y-.8Y =140
therfoere .2Y =140
threfore Y=5X 140
=700

I know this is going to sound stupid but where did you get the eguation Y=C+I. I thought that Y=C+S+T. I am not good at maths. so could you please explain to be the concept Y= C+I.

its not maths...(well that equation) its just in the textbook - doesnt matter if you dont nderstand it, as long as you know y=C+i??

the full equation is Y = C + I + G + X - M

(1) Y = E = O

Income(Y) consists of consumption (C) plus savings (S) as in equation (2):

(2) Y = C + S

Expenditure consists of consumption (C) by households and investments (I) by firms as in equation (3):

(3) E = C + I

now Y = E so Y = C + I

i cannot find Y=C+I anywhere in my textbook and we did not cover it last year. Thanks for the help/
