Question
APC can be greater than one, but MPC is always less than one. Give a reason to justify this phenomenon.
Solution
When C > Y, APC = C/Y > 1, but MPC is always less than 1 because an increase in consumption expenditure is always less than an increase in income, as a part of increased income is used for saving as well.

Why public goods must be provided by the government?
An Economy is in equilibrium, calculate the Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS) from the following:
- National Income (Y) = ₹ 4,400
- Autonomous Consumption `bar("C")` = ₹ 1,000
- Investment Expenditure (I) = ₹ 70
If increase in National Income is equal to increase in Savings, the value of Marginal Propensity to Consume would be ______.
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.
