21. At equilibrium
AD = Y
AD = C+I = Y
(1)
80+0.4Y+100 = Y
0.6Y = 180
Y =
= 300

Since the given income of 400 is greater than equilibrium level of income, the economy is
not at equilibrium. It is at a situation where aggregate demand is greater than the
aggregate output produced in the economy.

OR
At equilibrium AD = C +I = Y
(1)
I = 60
C = C
+ bY = C
+ 0.8Y

If equilibrium level of income is 400, then C = C
+ 0.8x400 =C
+320

Thus, 60+C
+320 = 400

C
= 20
