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 ofMPC = 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 .
