Solution

The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is calculated by the change in consumption divided by the change in income.

Here, the change in consumption is 31,00031,000 - 29,000 = 2,000.Thechangeinincomeis2,000. The change in income is 33,000 - 30,000=30,000 = 3,000.

So, MPC = 2,000/2,000 / 3,000 = 0.67.

Therefore, the answer is a. 0.67.
