total spending an initial interjection of spending in the economy will generate. For
example, if the MPC = .8 and the government spends $100 million, then the total
increase in spending in the economy = $100 x 5 = $500 million.
Tax Multiplier = (-MPC)/MPS - Answers -✔✔ This tells you how much total spending
will result from an initial change in the level of taxation. It is negative because when
taxes decrease, spending increases, and vice versa. The tax multiplier will always be
smaller than the spending multiplier.
