(A), (B), (C), (D)

(D), (A), (C), (B)

Correct Answer:

(C), (A), (D), (B)

Explanation:

The correct answer is option (2) : (C), (A), (D), (B)

  • MPC rises: When the Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) increases, it means that consumers are spending a larger fraction of any additional income they receive.

  • Investment multiplier rises: The investment multiplier (k) is given by the formula k=1/ (1−MPC). If MPC rises, the denominator (1−MPC) becomes smaller, causing the multiplier to rise.

  • Income rises: A higher investment multiplier means that any initial increase in investment leads to a larger increase in overall income.

  • Economy grows: As income rises, it stimulates further economic activities and investments, leading to overall economic growth.
