Question
Write answers in ‘one’ or ‘two’ paras each :
Explain the concept of saving function.
Solution
The consumer does not spend the entire increase in his income on consumption. Rather, a portion (generally fixed) of the increase in income is kept as savings. Thus, as the income increases, savings also increase. This relationship between the savings and income is depicted in a functional form by the savings function. The savings function can be expressed as:

If MPS = 0, the value of multiplier will be ______
Average Propensity to Consume is equal to:
If the marginal propensity to consume is greater than marginal propensity to save, the value of the multiplier will be:
If in an economy, the value of investment multiplier is 4 and Autonomous Consumption is ₹ 30 Crore, the relevant consumption function would be :
If increase in National Income is equal to increase in consumption, identity the value of Marginal Propensity to Save:
An Economy is in equilibrium, calculate the Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS) from the following:

- Autonomous Consumption `bar("C")` = ₹ 1,000
- Investment Expenditure (I) = ₹ 70
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).
What is meant by autonomous consumption expenditure? Show it on a diagram.
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.
