Question
In an economy, the value of Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS) is 0.25, what will be the value of increase in income, if investments increased by ₹ 200 crores?
Options
₹ 200 crores
₹ 150 crores
₹ 1,000 crores
₹ 800 crores
Solution
₹ 800 crores
Explanation:
Given: Increase in Investment = ΔI = 200 crore
MPS = 0.25
To Find: Increase in Income = ΔY =?
Here,
MPC + MPS = 1
MPC + 0.25 = 1
MPC = 1 - 0.25 = 0.75
Investment Multiplier = `k = 1/(1 - "MPC")`
=`1/(1 - 0.75) = 1/ (0.25)`
= 4
Now, `k = "ΔY"/"ΔI"`
4 = `"ΔY"/200`
`4xx200` = ΔY
ΔY = ₹ 800 crore
