Question
Chapter 30, Problem 1DQ
To determine
MPC and APC.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
MPC is associated to the changes that occur in income and spending. Hence, MPC is calculated by
However, in the case of APC, it is an average where the total amount spent on consumption is compared to the total income earned. Hence, it is calculated as follows:
When there is in increase in the income, two choices available are either to spend or to save the money. As MPC is associated to changes on spent income, the amount that is not spent will have to be saved and this becomes MPS. So, the numerator will have change in the money spent or saved and when added together it has to be the total change in income. So, the denominator will have the total change in income. One will be the result when adding MPS and MPC.
Economics Concept Introduction
Concept Introduction:
Marginal propensity to consume: Marginal propensity to consume refers to the sensitivity of change in the consumption level due to changes occurred in the income level.
Marginal propensity to save (MPS): Marginal propensity to save refers to the sensitivity of change in the saving level due to changes occurred in the income level.

[LO 7.1 , 7.3 ] a. What is the total contribution of this shirt to GDP , using the standard expenditure method ? b . If we use a value -added method (i.e , summing the value added by producers at each step of the production process , equal to the value of output minus the price of inputs ) , what is the contribu tion of this shirt to GDP ? c If we mistakenly added the price of both inter mediate and final outputs without adjusting for value added , what would we find that this shirt contributes to GDP ?

Three students have each saved $1,000. Each has an investment opportunity in which he or she can invest up to $2,000. Here are the rates of return on the students’ investment projects:

Assume borrowing and lending is prohibited, so each student uses only personal saving to finance his or her own investment project.
Complete the following table with how much each student will have a year later when the project pays its return.

Now suppose their school opens up a market for loanable funds in which students can borrow and lend among themselves at an interest rate rr.
A student would choose to be a lender in this market if his or her expected rate of return is than rr.
Suppose the interest rate is 6 percent.
Among these three students, the quantity of loanable funds supplied would be
