Economics

Consider the simplest macro model with demand-determined output. The equations are:

C = 150 + 0.80 YD   YD = Y -T    I = 400        G = 700   T = 0.31 Y   X = 130   IM =0.25 Y.

Computation of Marginal Propensity to Consume:

Given,

Consumption function (C) = 150+0.8Yd 

Here, 0.8 represents the slope of the consumption function such that dc/dy = 0.8 this implies that this is also the marginal propensity to consume of the consumer. That is the consumer consumes 80% of his disposable income.
