Assuming that increase in investment is Rs. 800 crore and marginal propensity to consume is 0.8, explain the working of multiplier
उत्तर
Given that the value of MPC = 0.8 and the initial increase in investment is Rs 800 crore. For every increase of Re 1 in the income, people consume 0.8 part of the increased income. So, people consume Rs 0.80 and save Rs 0.20.
Process of multiplier
| Round | Increase in Investment ΔI |
Change in income ΔY |
Induced Change in Consumption ΔC |
Savings ΔS |
| 1 | 800 | 800 | 640 | 160 |
| 2 | - | 640 | 512 | 128 |
| 3 | - | 512 | 409.6 | 102.4 |
| 4 | - | 409.6 | 327.68 | 81.92 |
| 5 | - | 327.98 | 264.14 | 63.54 |
| 6 | - | 264.14 | 209.7 | 54.44 |
| 7 | - | 209.7 | 167.7 | 42 |
| 8 | - | 167.7 | 134.2 | 33.5 |
| 9 | - | 134.2 | 107.4 | 26.8 |
| 10 | 107.4 | 85.8 | 21.6 | |
| 11 | 85.8 | 68.64 | 17.16 | |
| 12 | 68.64 | 54.9 | 13.7 | |
| 13 | 54.9 | 43.9 | 11 | |
| 14 | 43.9 | 35.1 | 8.8 | |
| 15 | 35.1 | 28.1 | 7 | |
| 16 | 28.1 | 22.4 | 5.7 | |
| 17 | 22.4 | 17.9 | 4.5 | |
| 18 | 17.9 | 14.3 | 3.6 | |
| 19 | 14.3 | 11.5 | 2.8 |
This process indicates that the income will keep increasing because of increase in consumption.
Change in the income (ΔY) = Rs 4000
Change in the investment (ΔI) =Rs 800
`k = 1/(1 - MPC) = (ΔY)/(ΔI)`
`K = 1/(1- 0.8) = (ΔY)/800`
or `1/0.2 = (ΔY)/800`
Hence ΔY = 4000
Thus, an initial increase in the investment by Rs 8OO crore will lead to an increase of income and output by Rs 4000 crore.

In an economy an increase in investment by Rs 100 crore led to ‘increase’ in national by Rs 1000 crore. Find marginal propensity to consume.
An economy is in equilibrium. From the following data about an economy, calculate investment expenditure:
1) Income = 10000
2) Marginal propensity to consume = 0.9
3) Autonomous consumption = 100
If the marginal propensity to consume is greater than marginal propensity to save, the value of the multiplier will be (Choose the correct alternative)
(a) greater than 2
(b) less than 2
(c) equal to 2
(d) equal to 5
An economy is in equilibrium. From the following data, calculate the marginal propensity to save:
1) Income = 10,000
2) Autonomous consumption = 500
3) Consumption expenditure = 8,000
An economy is in equilibrium. Calculate national income from the following :
Autonomous consumption = 100
Marginal propensity to save = 0.2
Investment expenditure = 200
Calculate Marginal Propensity to Consume from the following data about an economy
Which is an equilibrium:
National income = 2000
Autonomous Consumption expenditure = 200
Investment expenditure = 100
An economy is in equilibrium. Find the Investment Expenditure from the following :
National Income = 750
Autonomous Consumption = 200
Marginal Propensity to Save = 0.4

State and explain J.M. Keynes's ‘psychological law of consumption’.
Answer in brief.
Explain the relationship between Income and Consumption.
Distinguish between Average propensity to consume and Marginal propensity to consume.
The consumption function of an economy is : C = 40 + 0.8 Y (amount in ₹ crores). Determine that level of income where the average propensity to consume will be one.
