    Thank you for reading this. I am looking for the clarification for the above-mentioned question.

    This is the question:
    If a population has a marginal propensity to save of 0.2 and the government injects $100m into the economy, how much additional expenditure will result?

    The answer behind the notes is $500m.

    My question is:
    Shouldn’t the $500m is the SUM of the expenditure and the $400m [SUM – initial expenditure] is the additional expenditure generated?

    (since $100M is not “generated” but injected at the first place as the initial expenditure, shouldn’t the “additional expenditure” be counted starting from Round 2)

    I understand your point. However, the question asks how much additional expenditure will result not how much additional is generated.

    Perhaps the question could be better worded.
