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.
