Solution

The Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) can be calculated using the formula:

MPC = 1/(1 - expenditure multiplier)

Given that the expenditure multiplier (Em) is 5, we can substitute this value into the formula:

MPC = 1/(1 - 5)

This simplifies to:

MPC = 1/(-4)

So, the MPC is -0.25. However, MPC is usually expressed as a positive value between 0 and 1, so it seems there may be a mistake in the given value of the expenditure multiplier. Please check the value of Em.
