Answer
A component of Keynesian theory, MPC represents the proportion of an aggregate raise in pay that is spent on the consumption of goods and services, as opposed to being saved.
MPC= △C/△Y (△C is the change in consumption, △Y is the change in disposable income that produced the consumption)

(b) Assume that GDP rises from $550bn to $650bn. Assume that this results in the consumption of goods and services rising from $340bn to $400bn. What is the mpc?

Answer
GDP is increase $100bn ($650bn-$550bn=$100bn), the △Y= $100bn
The consumption of goods is increase $60bn ($400bn-$340bn=$60bn), the △C= $60bn
So MPC= △C/△Y= 60/100 = 0.6

(c) Assuming that the mpc remains constant, what will the level of consumption be if GDP rises to $700bn?

Answer
MPC remains constant, so MPC is 0.6
GDP rises to $700bn, so △Y= $700bn-$550bn=$150bn
MPC= △C/△Y, so △C= MPC* △Y= 0.6* 150=90
So if GDP rises to $700bn, the level of consumption is $340bn+$90bn=$430bn.

(d) If Australian consumption of goods and services is $400bn, investment is $120bn, government expenditure is $150bn, exports of goods and services are $140bn and imports of goods and services are $145bn, what is the level of aggregate expenditure (E)?

Answer
A formula for GDP
GDP= C+I+G+(X-M), C is consumption of goods and services, I is investment, G is government expenditure, X is exports of goods and services, M is imports of goods and
