Question
Distinguish between Average Propensity to Consume and Marginal Propensity to Consume using a numerical example.
✓

Answer

MPC is the ratio of change in consumption expenditure (∆C) to change in total income (∆Y).
Suppose ∆C = 70 and ∆Y = 100 then MPC = $\frac{70}{700}=0.7$ 
APC is the ratio of total consumption expenditure (C) to total income (Y). Suppose C = 80 and Y = 100 then APC  $=\frac{80}{100}=0.8$
