Answer» Correct Answer - Total increase in income =Rs. 4,000 crores; Total increase in Consumption Expenditure = Rs. 3,000 crores Given: MPC `0.75` (as `75%` of increase in income is spent on consumption) Multiplier (k)`=(1)/(1-MPC)=(1)/(1-0.75)=(1)/(0.25)=4` When also know: k`=("Change in Income"(DeltaY))/("Charge in Investmemt"(Deltal))` `4=("Change in Income"(DeltaY))/(1,000)` So. Change in Income `(DeltaY)=Rs.4,000` crores MPC `=("Change in Consumption"(DeltaC))/("Charge in Income"(DeltaY))` `0.75=("Change in Consumption"(DeltaC))/(4,000)` So, Change in Consumption `(DeltaC) = Rs. 3,000` crores |
