Answer #1

Answer
Marginal propensity to consume(MPC) =Change inn consumption /change in disposable income
=(500-420)/(500-400)
=0.80
the MPC is 0.80
the saving increases by $20 as the change in income is 100 and consumption is 80 so remaining is saving
saving increases by $20

MPS=1-MPC=1-0.8
MPS=0.20
marginal propensity to consume is 0.20
