Question:

If there is a rise in income from Rs 40,000 to Rs 50,000, consumption increases from Rs 22,000 to 30,000, then what will be the MPC?

Options:

0.5

1.25

0.8

None of the above

Correct Answer:

0.8

Explanation:

MPC refers to the ratio of change in consumption expenditure to change in income. The value of MPC lies between 0 and 1.

MPC = \(\frac{ΔC }{ΔY }\)

MPC = \(\frac{30,000 - 22,000}{50,000 - 40,000 }\)

MPC = \(\frac{8,000 }{10,000 }\)

MPC = 0.8
