The value of MPS.
Expert Solution
Answer to Problem 6E
The value of MPS is 0.10.
Explanation of Solution
Since income can only be either consumed or saved, therefore it can be written as
Y = C+S
Differentiating both sides with respect to Y
1 =
Thus, MPS =
In this case,
MPS =
MPS = 0.1
Economics Concept Introduction
MPS − The additional savings arising out of an additional unit of income.

The MPI is zero.
Explanation of Solution
In this case, the investment is not changing with income level. It is fixed. Hence, the marginal propensity to invest is zero.
