Practicing Success
If Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 4 times of the value of the Marginal propensity to save (MPS) determine the value of MPC : |
0.70 0.75 0.20 0.80 |
0.80 |
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. |
