'Investment multiplier and Marginal Propensity to Save are indirectly related to each other.'
Explain with the help of numerical example.
Marking-scheme solution
Investment multiplier (K) and Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS) are inversely related.Suppose, the value of MPS = $\displaystyle 0$·$\displaystyle 2$Then, the value of K = $\displaystyle \frac{1}{MPS}$ = $\displaystyle \frac{1}{0.2}$ = $\displaystyle 5$Suppose, the value of MPS = $\displaystyle 0$·$\displaystyle 4$Then, the value of K = $\displaystyle \frac{1}{0.4}$ = $\displaystyle 2.5$Thus, it is clear from illustration mentioned above that there exists inverse relationship between MPS and investment multiplier. As MPS rises, the value of investment multiplier falls.
