Distinguish between marginal propensity to consume and average propensity to consume. Give a numerical example.

Distinguish between Average Propensity to Consume and Marginal Propensity to consume using a numerical example.

उत्तर

Marginal Propensity to Consume Average Propensity to Consume
Ratio of change in consumption (ΔC) to change in income (ΔY) Ratio of consumption expenditure (C) to level of income (Y)

Example:

ΔY = Rs500

ΔC = Rs100

MPC = c = ΔC/ΔY

             = 100/500 = 0.2

 Example:

Y = Rs1,200

C = Rs900

APC = C/Y

      = 900/1200 = 0.75

In an economy investment is increased by Rs. 300 crore. If marginal propensity to consume is 2/3, calculate increase in national income.


Find equilibrium national income:

Autonomous consumption expenditure = 120

Marginal propensity to consume = 0.9

Investment expenditure = 1100


An economy is in equilibrium. Find investment expenditure: 

National Income =1,000

Autonomous Consumption =100

Marginal propensity to consume =0.8


An economy is in equilibrium. Calculate the Investment Expenditure from the following
National Income = 800
Marginal propensity to save = 0.3
Autonomous Consumption = 100


Define or explain the concept Average propensity to save .


Answer the following question.
What is meant by a propensity to consume?


Answer the following question.
What is meant by autonomous consumption? Explain with the help of a diagram.


If in an economy :
Change in initial Investment (∆I) = ₹ 700 crores
Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS) = 0.2

Find the values of the following :

(b) Change in final income (∆Y)

APC + APS = ?

An Economy is in equilibrium, calculate the Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS) from the following:

  1. National Income (Y) = ₹ 4,400
  2. Autonomous Consumption `bar("C")` = ₹ 1,000
  3. Investment Expenditure (I) = ₹ 70
