Suppose that disposable income consumption and saving in some countries are 200 billion, 150 billion and 50 billion respectively.  Next, assume that disposable income increases by 20 billion, consumption rises by 18 billion, in saving goes up by 2 billion. What is the economies MPC? It’s MPS? What was the APC before the increase in disposable income? After the increase? 
If there is an increase in the personal income tax rate, and people do not receive a pay increase, then disposable income will... decrease or increase
Therefore, we can expect consumption spending to... decrease or increase
and private saving to..... increase or decrease .
