If Marginal propensity to consume of 06 and a marginal propensity to import of 02 the government increases its spending by 2 billion and raises taxes by 1 billion what happens to equilibrium income?
The equilibrium income would increase 1.06 billion dollars.
What are the significances of Marginal Propensity to Consume?
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 government spending increases 5B and your MPC is a 90 how much does GDP increase?
From such an action (increase in government spending by 5 billion and a Marginal Propensity to Consume of 90%), the GDP would increase (in the scope of simplicity) by 4.5 billion. This is because government expenditures is counted in GDP, and in this case 90% of it is consumed by the populace, so 5B * .9 = 45B. But, being that the GDP is Consumption + Gross Investment + Govt. Spending +(-) Imports/exports, one could suggest that the GDP would increase by just 5B because that which is not consumed is saved (and thus invested).

How is the MPC related to the consumption function?
It is connected by the formula(consumption function) C =A+MD where C = Consumer spending A=Autonomous consumption M=Marginal Propensity to consume D=real disposable income

Does an increase in government spending increase income?
