Answer» (a) The statement is true. When the value of K = 1, MPC = 0 It is shown as K = 1/1–MPC Given K = 1 K = 1/1– MPC 1 – MPC = 1 MPC = 1 – 1 = 0 Thus when investment multiplier is 1, the value of MPC is zero. (b) The statement is false. The value of APS can be negative. It is shown as : APC + APS = 1 APC = C/Y if c = 1200 and Y = 1000 then APC = (1200/1000) = 1.2 1.2 + APS = 1 APS = – 0.2 The value of APS is generally less than 1. |
