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.

Distinguish between marginal propensity to consume and average propensity to consume. Give a numerical example.
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.
The value of marginal propensity to consume is 0.6 and initial income in the economy is Rs 100 crores. Prepare a schedule showing Income, Consumption and Saving. Also show the equilibrium level of income by assuming autonomous investment of Rs 80 crores.
An economy is in equilibrium. From the following data about an economy, calculate investment expenditure:
