If the consumption function is C50 0.75y then the marginal propensity to consume is?
If the consumption function is C50 0.75y then the marginal propensity to consume is?
Distinguish between average propensity to consume and marginal propensity to consume?
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.
How could weistinguish between average propensity to consume from marginal propensity to consume?
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.
Why do you care about marginal propensity to consume?
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.
What formula is used for the multiplier in an open economy?
1/1-(mpc-mpm) mpc- marginal propensity to consume mpm- marginal propensity to import

How can you derive the tax rate multiplier?
Taxation Multiplier = - (MPC) / (1 - MPS) Where, MPC = marginal propensity to consume, and MPS = marginal propensity to save.
If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75. what would be the multiplier?
4.
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
What is an example of a multiplier effect?
K= I/(1-MPC) MPC is a marginal propensity to consume I = investment
Why marginal propensity to save and marginal propensity to consume sum up to one?
There are only two things we can do with our income, we can either save it, or use it to consume some good. The reason MPC + MPS = 1 is because we use a fraction of the next dollar we earn for consumption (MPC) and the rest for saving (MPS). If the sum is less than one, then we are using our income for some purpose other than saving or consuming; the sum cannot be greater than one because we only have a dollar to "use".
What is the ratio of the change in consumption to the change in disposable income called?
It is called the marginal propensity to consume, or MPC
What is the proportion of disposable income spent to income saved?
Savings Rate
