Assume that in an economy increased consumption is equal to increased saving, how many times will the national income increase in such an economy with an increase in investment?

Solution

Correct Option: 1

If increased consumption equals increased saving, then MPC = MPS = 0.5. Multiplier k=1MPS=10.5=2k = \frac{1}{MPS} = \frac{1}{0.5} = 2. So national income increases 2 times the increase in investment.
