If in 2016 income was $17 trillion and rose to $18 trillion in 2017, and consumption was $12 trillion in 2016 and rose to $15 trillion in 2017, what is the marginal propensity to consumer (MPC)?
Marginal propensity to consume is the ratio of the change in consumption and change in income.
So, MPC = Increase in consumption / Increase income = (15 - 12)/(18-17) = 3/1 = 3
If in 2016 income was $17 trillion and rose to $18 trillion in 2017, and consumption...

Keynesian fiscal policy in a closed economy: considering that AE =C+I+G + mpc(1 - ty! where t is the tax rate, the government could increase the aggregate expenditure a) increasing the tax rate b) reducing the tax rate 20. If the marginal propensity to consume (mpc) increase, the Keynesian multiplier effect...
Suppose that when your income increases by $200, your consumption expenditures increases by $160. Your marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is . If your MPC was the same as the MPC for the economy as a whole, the expenditure multiplier for the economy would be. . Thus, a $3 million investment project would increase income by million in total.
Suppose that when your income increases by $300, your consumption expenditures increases by $225. Your marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is _________ . If your MPC was the same as the MPC for the economy as a whole, the expenditure multiplier for the economy would be ______________ . Thus, a $2 million investment project would increase income by $ _________ million in total.

1. Consider the following consumption function and the national income identity. C=0.01Y2 +0.8Y+200 Y=C+S Where, C is consumption and Y is national income, and S is saving a) Calculate the value of marginal propensity to consume (MPC) when Y=8 b) Find the expression for savings function and using that function calculate marginal propensity to save (MPS) when Y= 8.
