Range of Investment Multiplier = one to infinity.

Relation: If MPC rises, investment multiplier also rises, positive ,relation, whereas if MPS rises, investment multiplier falls; inverse relation. (Relation to be supported by numerical example or explanation).

Detailed Answer:

Value of Investment Multiplier:

(a) Minimum value of multiplier is 1 because minimum value of MPC can be zero.

(b) Maximum value of multiplier may be-(infinite) because maximum value of MPC can be 1.

Relationship of K (investment multiplier) with MPC and MPS

(i) There is direct relationship between k and MPC. If MPC is high, k will also be high but if MPC is low, k will also be low.

Thus, k varies directly with value of MPC. In short, higher the value of MPC, higher will be the value of multiplier and vice versa.

(ii) There is inverse relationship between k and MPS. If MPS is high, k will be low but if MPS is low, k will be high.
