Question 28 of 36

Q.Find MPC, MPS, APC and APS, if the expenditure EcE_c of a person with income I is given as Ec=(0.0003)I2+(0.075)IE_c = (0.0003) I^2 + (0.075) I ; When I=1000I = 1000.

MPC=dEcdI=0.0006I+0.075=0.675\text{MPC}=\dfrac{dE_c}{dI}=0.0006I+0.075=0.675 at I=1000I=1000; MPS=1−MPC=0.325\text{MPS}=1-\text{MPC}=0.325; APC=EcI=3751000=0.375\text{APC}=\dfrac{E_c}{I}=\dfrac{375}{1000}=0.375; APS=1−APC=0.625\text{APS}=1-\text{APC}=0.625.

Given Ec=(0.0003)I2+(0.075)IE_c=(0.0003)I^2+(0.075)I.

Step 1 — Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) is the rate of change of expenditure with income:

MPC=dEcdI=2(0.0003)I+0.075=0.0006 I+0.075.\text{MPC}=\frac{dE_c}{dI}=2(0.0003)I+0.075=0.0006\,I+0.075.

At I=1000I=1000: MPC=0.0006(1000)+0.075=0.6+0.075=0.675.\text{MPC}=0.0006(1000)+0.075=0.6+0.075=0.675.

Step 2 — Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS). Since income is either consumed or saved,

MPS=1−MPC=1−0.675=0.325.\text{MPS}=1-\text{MPC}=1-0.675=0.325.

Step 3 — Average Propensity to Consume (APC). First find EcE_c at I=1000I=1000: …
