Suppose economists observe that an increase in government spending of $14 billion raises the total demand for goods and services by $42 billion.   If these economists ignore the possibility of crowding out, they would estimate the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) to be    .   Now suppose the economists allow for crowding out.   Their new estimate of the MPC would be    than their initial one.
