Option 1: A = 0.8, MPC = 100

Option 2: A = 100, MPC = 80

Option 3: A = 80, MPC = 0.10

Option 4: A = 100, MPC = 0.8

Correct Answer: A = 100, MPC = 0.8


Solution : The correct option is A = 100, MPC = 0.8 .

In the consumption function C = 100 + 0.8Y, autonomous consumption (A) is the constant term, which is 100. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is the coefficient of the income term (Y), which is 0.8. This represents the proportion of additional income consumed, indicating a high consumption propensity.
