Solution

Investment multiplier and MPC are directly related to each other. It can be as follows:

K = `1/(1 - "MPC")`

If, MPC = 0.4

then, K = `1/(1 - 0.4)`

= `1/0.6`

If, MPC = 0.6

then, K = `1/(1 - 0.6)`

K = `1/0.4`

Hence, Both are directly related with the increase in MPC, investment multiplier will increases.
