Question
Give reasons or explain the following statement:
Income which is not saved is consumption.
Solution
Income has two major components i.e., consumption and savings. This means an individual can utilise his/her income in two ways, either by consuming it (by purchasing goods and services or for investment purposes) or by saving it (by depositting it in banks). Thus, it can be said that income which is not saved is consumption.

Income rises from ₹50,000 to ₹60,000, consumption increases from ₹40,000 to ₹48,000. In this situation, what will be the value of Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC)?
If increase in National Income is equal to increase in consumption, identity the value of Marginal Propensity to Save:
Assertion (A): Saving curve makes a negative intercept on the vertical axis at zero level of income.
Reason (R): Saving function refers to the functional relationship between saving and income.
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.
APC can be greater than one, but MPC is always less than one. Give a reason to justify this phenomenon.
