Question:

If the income rises from Rs 500 crore to Rs 1000 crore, as result the consumption expenditure rises from Rs 500 crore to Rs 600 crore. What will be the marginal propensity to consume in such a case?

Options:

0.8

0.4

0.5

0.2

Correct Answer:

0.2

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 4: 0.2

MPC = \(\frac{ΔC }{ ΔY}\)

ΔC = 100

ΔY = 500

Thus, MPC = \(\frac{100 }{ 500}\)

= 0.2
