Total planned expenditure (equals total output) is 14,000 when autonomous consumption expenditure is 450. When autonomous consumption expenditure falls to 400, total planned expenditure (equals total output) is 13,800. The marginal propensity to consume is _______. A) 0.89 B) 0.75 C) 0.99 D) 0.44

Respuesta :

Answer:

The marginal propensity to consume = 0.25

Explanation:

Given:

Planned expenditure = 14,000

Consumption expenditure = 450

New consumption expenditure = 400

New planned expenditure = 13,800

Find:

The marginal propensity to consume

Computation:

The marginal propensity to consume = [Consumption expenditure - New consumption expenditure] / [Planned expenditure - New planned expenditure]

The marginal propensity to consume = [450 - 400] / [14,000 - 13,800]

The marginal propensity to consume = 50 / 200

The marginal propensity to consume = 0.25
