No. 4 A simple Keynesian model has two groups of income earners. The
income of group 1 (Y1 ) is fixed at Rs. 800. Both groups have proportional
consumption function; the average propensity to consume is 0.8 for group
1 and 0.5 for group 2. Group 2 consumes only domestically produced
goods. However, group 1 consumes both domestically produced as well as
imported goods, their marginal propensity to import being 0.4. investment
goods are produced domestically and Investment (I) is autonomously
given at Rs. 600.

The price of other goods is unity. To consume electricity the consumer has
to pay a rental charge R and a per unit price p. However, p increases with
the quantity of electricity consumed according to the function p =
