Read the following statements: Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Choose the correct alternative from those given below:
Assertion (A): The equilibrium level of income is determined, when ex-ante spending and ex-ante output are equal.
Reason (R): The equilibrium level of income may or may not be the same as the full employment level of output.
Read the following statements: Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Choose the correct alternative from those given below:
Assertion (A): The equilibrium level of income is determined, when ex-ante spending and ex-ante output are equal.
Reason (R): The equilibrium level of income may or may not be the same as the full employment level of output.
Show Hint
- Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
- Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is {not} the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
- Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
- Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Assertion (A): This is true because the equilibrium level of income is achieved when planned (ex-ante) spending equals planned (ex-ante) output, ensuring no unintended inventory changes.
Reason (R): This is also true because the equilibrium level of income is not necessarily the same as the full employment output. It can occur below or above the full employment level depending on aggregate demand.
Conclusion: Though both statements are true, Reason (R) does not fully explain Assertion (A), as equilibrium income is based on aggregate demand and not necessarily full employment.
