Explain why the marginal propensity to save and the marginal propensity to consume sum to 1
People do two things with their income: spend it or save it. What is not spent is necessarily saved. If Libby's income increases by $100 . she will spend, say, $75 on consumption (her MPC = 0.75) which
means she will save $25 (her MPS = 0.25). 0.75 + 0.25 = 1.00
