Question
Assertion (A): At the break-even level of income, the value of Average Propensity to Consume (APC) is zero.
Reason (R): Sum of Average Propensity to Consume (APC) and Average Propensity to Save (APS) is always equal to one.
Options
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.
Solution
Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.
Explanation:
At Break-even level of Income, Consumption equals Income. Here, APC = 1. Sum of APC and APS is 1 as whole income is either consumed or saved.

Distinguish between marginal propensity to consume and average propensity to consume. Give a numerical example.
Define marginal propensity to consume
An economy is in equilibrium. Calculate Marginal Propensity to Consume :
National income = 1000
Autonomous consumption expenditure = 200
Investment expenditure = 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. Find 'autonomous consumption' from the following:
