An increase of Rs. 250 crore in investment in an economy resulted in total increase in income of Rs. 1,000 crore . Calculate the following : (a) Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) ,(b) change in saving , ( C) change in consumption expenditure , (d) Value of multiplier .

Answer» `K= ( Delta Y) /(DeltaI) =(1000)/(250)=4`
`(a) K= (1)/(MPC ) or 4= (1) /(MPC)`
`or 4-4 MPC=1`
`or 4MPC=3`
` MPC =(3)/(4) =0.75`
( also ,MPS=1-0.75=0.25)
(B) change in savings
`Delta S= Delta Yxx MPS`
`= 1,000xx0.25`
`=250 ` crore
( C) ` Delta C= Delta YxxMPC`
`= 1,000 xx0.75`
`=750 ` crore
(D) Value of miltiplier (K) ` =(Delta Y) /(Delta I)=(1000)/(250)=4`
