Answer:

$37,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the MPC is the proportion of aggregate increase in income spent by consumer on consumption of goods or services.

MPC is already given as 0.75

So We will simply calculate the amount spent by Erin by multiplying Erin's additional income to MPC

(0.75 X $50,000) = $37,500
