The MPC will decrease as people save more due to fear of income reduction.
we do care about the marginal propensity to consume because it shows the ratio of an increase in consumption due to increase in income it does not matter what the income of the consumer,either high or low.
The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is an economic concept to show the increase in personal consumer spending or consumption that occurs with an increase in disposable income. Here is the formula: MPC = change in consumption/change in disposable income A change in disposable income results in the new income either being spent or saved. This is the Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) or the Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS). MPC + MPS = 1
If the consumption function is C50 0.75y then the marginal propensity to consume is?
average propensity to consume is the fraction of the total amount of disposable income that households spend on consumption whereas marginal propensity to consume is the amount that consumption increases for every additional dollar of disposable income.
The average propensity to consume is the fraction of total disposable income that households spend on consumption (as opposed to saving for example) whereas marginal propensity to consume is the additional consumption that results from an additional dollar of disposable income.
1/1-(mpc-mpm) mpc- marginal propensity to consume mpm- marginal propensity to import
Taxation Multiplier = - (MPC) / (1 - MPS) Where, MPC = marginal propensity to consume, and MPS = marginal propensity to save.
The equilibrium income would increase 1.06 billion dollars.

K= I/(1-MPC) MPC is a marginal propensity to consume I = investment
It is called the marginal propensity to consume, or MPC
