Example Calculation of the Multiplier (k)
A numerical example can illustrate how to calculate the value of the multiplier (k). Given a marginal propensity to consume () of 0.6, the multiplier is calculated using the formula . The calculation is as follows: .

Example Calculation of the Multiplier (k)
Derivation of the Change in Output from an Investment Shock
In a simplified economic model, the equilibrium output (Y) is determined by the equation Y = k(c₀ + I), where 'k' is a multiplier with a value greater than 1, 'c₀' represents spending that does not depend on income, and 'I' represents investment spending. If businesses suddenly become more pessimistic about the future and reduce their investment spending (I), while 'k' and 'c₀' remain unchanged, what will be the resulting effect on the equilibrium output (Y)?
