In an economy 75 percent of the increase in income is spent on consumption. Investment increased by ₹ 1,000 crore.
Calculate the total increase in income on the basis of given information.
The value of ______ can be greater than one.
For a hypothetical economy, the government incurs an investment expenditure of ₹ 1,000 crore. If the value of Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS) falls from 0.25 to 0.10. Calculate the value of increase in income due to change in the value of Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS).
When National Income rises from ₹ 600 Cr. to ₹ 1000 Cr., the consumption expenditure increases from ₹ 500 Cr. to ₹ 800 Cr. Calculate MPC and hence the value of Investment Multiplier.
