Question : 18
Total: 18
Assuming that increase in investment is 1000 crore and marginal propensity to consume is 0.9 . Explain the working of multiplier.
Solution:  
Given that
Value of MPC=0.9
Initial increase in investment =1000 crore
So, every increase of 1 in the income, 0.9 part of the increased income will be consumed by people.
Consumption =0.90
Saving =0.10
It is given that initial increase in investment of 1000 will lead to change in the income by 1000 in the first round. As MPC is 0.9 so people will consume 0.9 of the increased income i.e., 900 there by saving 100. In the next round due to increase in the consumption expenditure by 900 there will be an increase in income by 900. Then people will again spend the increased income i..., 810 and save the rest part of the income 90. Similarly, this process will continue and the income will go on increasing as a result of the increase in consumption. The total change in the income is 10,000 and the change in the investment will be 1,000.
