In the Keynesian aggregate expenditure model, the larger the marginal propensity to consume,

  1. more consumption expands as the result of a decline in investment.
  2. greater the marginal propensity to save.
  3. the smaller the multiplier.
  4. greater the change in income derived from a given change in private investment.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The expenditure multiplier is found by M = 1/(1-MPC). Thus, the larger the MPC the larger the multiplier. The multiplier magnifies changes in aggregate expenditure into larger changes in aggregate output. the larger the multiplier then, the greater the change in income derived from a given change in private investment.

If consumption equals 1,100 when disposable income is 1,200 and increases to 1,400 when disposable income goes to 1,600, what are the marginal propensities to consume and to save?

  1. MPC = 1/5; MPS = 4/5
  2. MPC = 2/3; MPS = 1/3
  3. MPC = 3/4; MPS = 1/4
  4. MPC = 1/3; MPS = 2/3

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Since the MPC is determined according to the ratio: MPC = additional consumption divided by additional income, the MPC here equals: 300/400 = .75. MPS = 1-MPC so MPS = .25.
