Disposable income is either consumed or saved, and any change in this income causes changes in
consumption and savings; the ratio of change in consumption to change in income measures the
marginal propensity to consume (mpc), while the ratio of change in savings to change in income
represents marginal propensity to save (mps).

Thus, if:
C = 0.8 Yd
S = 0.2Yd
Then ?c/?Yd = 0.8 = mpc
and ?s/?Yd = 0.2 = mps
(0.8 + 0.2) = 1; ?mpc + mps = 1.
