MPC MPS and the Spending Multiplier
All of the following statements about the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) and the marginal propensity to save (MPS) are true EXCEPT:
A
An increase in MPS diminishes the size of the spending multiplier since a greater portion of income is saved.
B
A higher MPC leads to a larger spending multiplier effect because households spend more of each additional dollar.
C
By definition, MPC + MPS = 1 for any additional unit of disposable income.
D
The sum of MPC and MPS is always greater than 1 because of the multiplier effect.
