    As MPC increases, the multiplier increases

    So as MPS increases the multiplier decreases.

    Explanation:

    The the expenditure multiplier is the amount by which the aggregate output would increase with an increase in any of the expenditure components.

    It is calculated as follows;

    Multiplier = 1 / (1-MPC)

    For example, MPC of 0.6 and 0.8 would produce multipliers of

    2.5 and 5 respectively.

    Therefore as MPC increases, the multiplier increases

    On the other hand, the MPS is the 1 - MPS, looking at the same equation, the multiplier is equal to

    Multiplier = 1/MPS.

    Therefore, MPS of 0.3 and 0.4 would produce the 3.33 and 2.5 respectively.

    So as MPS increases the multiplier decreases.
