Correct Option: D
The multiplier effect in economics is calculated using the Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC). The formula for the multiplier is:
Multiplier = 1 / (1 - MPC)
Given that MPC = 0.75:
- Calculate (1 - MPC): 1 - 0.75 = 0.25
- Calculate the Multiplier: 1 / 0.25 = 4
Therefore, the multiplier is 4.
