Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

When we write MPC + MPS = 1, we are stating that a change in disposable income will induce a combination of consumption and savings changes that will equal 100 percent of that initial change in disposable income. This is because the Keynesian model assumes that people do two things with their disposable income, spend it or save it. What is not spent is saved.
