    Incomplete question - missing certain parameters

    A Certain parameter is missing. The Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) is missing from the question. But in any case, you can use the formulae below to arrive at the answers.

    a. Value of Multiplier = 1 / (1-MPC)

    b. Increase in GDP = 50 * (Value of Multiplier)

    c. If MPC fell, increase in GDP will be reduced. A fall in MPC will increase the denominator and hence reduce multiplier.

    d. Decrease
