单选题 You are expecting an additional payment of 52000 of income this year. You intend to save 5 500 of the 5 2000. According to the multiplier effect, total spending will increase by a total amount of:

A、

A. 51500.
B、

B. 54000.
C、

C. 56000.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) = added consumption/additional ineome. The multiplier (M) = 1/(1 - MPC). In this case MPC = $1500/2000 = 0.75. M = 1/(1 - 0.75) = 4. Therefore spending will increase by $ 6000 = 4 × $1500.
