Answer:

Multiplier effect

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplier effect refers to increase in final income as a result of an injection of spending into the circular flow of income.

It refers to how demand triggers further spending.

In this question, we see how as a result of marys contract, income flows down to the plumber.

The size of the multiplier depends on the marginal propensity to consume. The greater the marginal propensity to consume, the greater the multiplier effect.
