The correct answer is  0 < MPC < 1.

Key Points

  • Marginal propensity to consume:-
    • It refers to the ratio of change in consumption expenditure to change in total income.
    • MPC = Change in consumption (ΔC) / Change in Income (ΔY)
    • The marginal propensity to consume lies between 0 to 1 as we know incremental income is either spent on consumption or saved for future use.
    • If the entire income is consumed, i.e. ΔS = 0, then MPC = 1 and if entire additional income is saved, i.e. ΔC = 0, then MPC = 0.(Hence statement II is correct)
