Average Propensity to Consume = Total Consumption divided by Total income
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.

To determine the marginal propensity to consume, divide the change in consumption by the change in income. This ratio shows the proportion of additional income that is spent on consumption.
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
To calculate the spending multiplier in an economy, you can use the formula: Spending Multiplier 1 / (1 - Marginal Propensity to Consume). The Marginal Propensity to Consume is the proportion of additional income that people spend rather than save. By plugging in the value for the Marginal Propensity to Consume, you can determine the overall impact of an initial change in spending on the economy.
