An economy is currently in equilibrium. The following figures refer to elements in its national income accounts. A) If national income now rises by £12 billion, and as a result, the consumption of domestically produced goods rises to £68 billion. Calculate the marginal propensity to consume (MPC). B)  What is the value of the multiplier? C)  Comment on the results in part (a) and (b).
