Suppose an Economy's Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC)is 0

question 61

Multiple Choice

Suppose an economy's marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.6.Then

• A)1 + MPC + MPC ² + MPC ³ = 1.844 and,if we continued adding up terms in this geometric series,we would get closer and closer to the multiplier value of 1.96.
• B)1 + MPC + MPC ² + MPC ³ = 1.844 and,if we continued adding up terms in this geometric series,we would get closer and closer to the multiplier value of 3.
• C)1 + MPC + MPC ² + MPC ³ = 2.176 and,if we continued adding up terms in this geometric series,we would get closer and closer to the multiplier value of 3.
• D)1 + MPC + MPC ² + MPC ³ = 2.176 and,if we continued adding up terms in this geometric series,we would get closer and closer to the multiplier value of 2.5.
