Discuss briefly the working process of investment multiplier (K), assuming that Change in Investment (ΔI) is ₹ $\displaystyle 4{,}000$ crore and Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) is $\displaystyle 0$·5.
Marking-scheme solution
The working of multiplier is based on the fact 'one's expenditure is other's income'.Given, the increase in investment is ₹ $\displaystyle 4{,}000$ crores and Marginal Propensity to Consume is $\displaystyle 0$·$\displaystyle 5$:
The above table shows that an increase in investment of ₹ $\displaystyle 4{,}000$ crores leads to a total increase of ₹ $\displaystyle 8{,}000$ croresWorking Note:$$K = \frac{1}{1-MPC} = \frac{1}{1-0.5} = \frac{1}{0.5} = 2$$$$K = \frac{\Delta Y}{\Delta I}$$$$2 = \frac{\Delta Y}{4,000}$$ΔY = ₹ $\displaystyle 8{,}000$ crore
| Rounds | ΔI | ΔY | ΔC | ΔS |
| $\displaystyle 1$ | $\displaystyle 4000$ | $\displaystyle 4000$ | $\displaystyle 2000$ | $\displaystyle 2000$ |
| $\displaystyle 2$ | $\displaystyle 2000$ | $\displaystyle 1000$ | $\displaystyle 1000$ | |
| $\displaystyle 3$ | $\displaystyle 1000$ | $\displaystyle 500$ | $\displaystyle 500$ | |
| — | — | — | — | |
| Total | $\displaystyle 4000$ | $\displaystyle 8000$ | $\displaystyle 4000$ | $\displaystyle 4000$ |
