Fill in the blanks:
Income ($) | Consumption ($) |
---|---|
0 | 500 |
1000 | 1350 |
2000 | 2200 |
3000 | 3050 |
Refer to the data in the above table.
The marginal propensity to consume equals ____. If income increases to $4,000, the level of consumption will be $____.
= 2200 - 1350 / 2000 -1000
= 850 / 1000
= 0.85. The MPC or the marginal propensity to consume is 0.85 and so at the income of 4000 the consumption will be 3400.
