Assuming that increase in investment is Rs.900 crore and marginal propensity to consume is 0.6, explain the working of multiplier. |

Answer» Given that `Deltal=900` and MPC `=0.6 ,increae in income is in the following sequence: Increase in investment raises income of those who supply investment goods by Rs.900. This is first round. Since MPC `=0.6,` income earners spent Rs. 540 on consumption. This raises income by 540= 900 xx0.6` in the second round. In the Similar way, third round increase in income is `324=540xx0.6.` In this way, income goes on increasing round by with each round increase in income equal to 60 percent of the previous round increase. The total increase in income is: `DeltaY=Deltal(1)/(1-MPC)=900xx(1)/(1-0.6)` `=Rs.2,250` crores. |
