If Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 4 times of the value of the Marginal propensity to save (MPS) determine the value of MPC :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is option (4) : 0.40
If the Marginal Propensity to Consume )MOC) is 4 times the value of the Marginal Propensity to save (MPS), we can represents this relationship with the equation :
MPC = 4 * MPS
If we assume MPS to be "x," then :
MPC = 4 * x
MPC + MPS = 1
4 * MPS + MPS = 1
Now, combine like terms :
5 * MPS = 1
Now, solve for MPS :
MPS = $\frac{1}{5}$
So, the value of MPS is $\frac{1}{5}$. Now, we can find the value of MPC :
MPC = 4 * MPS
MPC = 4* ($\frac{1}{5}$)
MPC = $\frac{4}{5}$
Therefore, the value of MPC is $\frac{4}{5}$, which is equivalent to 0.80.
