Question
Distinguish between average propensity to consume and average propensity to save. What is the relation between the two?

Answer

Average Propensity to Consume (APC) is the ratio of total consumption to total income, i.e., $\text{APC}=\frac{\text{C}}{\text{Y}}.$Whereas Average Propensity to Save (APS) is the ratio of total savings to total income, i.e., $\text{APS}=\frac{\text{S}}{\text{Y}}.$
The relationship between APC and APS is as follows:
APC + APS = 1
APC = 1 - APS APS = 1 - APC
