Solution

To find the multiplier, we need to use the formula:

Multiplier = 1 / (1 - MPC)

Given that the MPC (Marginal Propensity to Consume) is 0.75, we can substitute this value into the formula:

Multiplier = 1 / (1 - 0.75)

Simplifying the equation:

Multiplier = 1 / 0.25

Multiplier = 4

Therefore, if Government (or Investment) spending is increased by $10 with an MPC of 0.75, the multiplier will be 4.
