Practicing Success
If the Marginal propensity to save (MPS) is 0.5 and the initial change in investment is ₹250 crore, then the final change in income is: |
₹125 crore ₹1250 crore ₹600 crore ₹500 crore |
₹500 crore |
The correct answer is Option 4: ₹500 crore MPC + MPS = 1 MPC = 1 - MPS MPC = 1 - 0.5 MPC = 0.5 We know that: k = \(\frac{ 1}{ 1-MPC}\) also, k = \(\frac{\text{ΔY}}{ \text{ΔI}}\) According to the question; \(\frac{ 1}{ 1-0.5}\) =\(\frac{\text{ΔY}}{ \text{250}}\) \(\frac{ 1}{ 0.5}\) =\(\frac{\text{ΔY}}{ \text{250}}\) \(\frac{10 }{ 5}\) =\(\frac{\text{ΔY}}{ \text{250}}\) 2 = \(\frac{\text{ΔY}}{ \text{250}}\) ΔY = ₹500 crore |
