If the marginal propensity of consumption begins to decline what will happen to the average propensity of consumption?

If the marginal (per unit) consumption goes down, then the average consumption will also go down because the average is a function of each unit's individual value.
In other words, if the marginal perpensity to consume for the past 3 months was .2 each month, and for the next month it went down to .1, then your average would be:
Month 1 Avg = .2
Month 2 Avg = .2 (.2+.2/2)
Month 3 Avg = .2 (.2+.2+.2/3)
Month 4 Avg = .175 (.2+.2+.2+.1/4)

Relationship between marginal cost and average total cost?
The cost curves best tells us the relationship between the marginal cost and average total cost. The average fixed cost (AFC) curve will decline as additional units are produced, and continue to decline.
What is diminishing marginal productivity?
What it comes down to is too many workers, not enough resources for them all to use at the same time to be productive, thus resulting in the decline of production.
What causes average fixed cost to decline?
The average fixed cost curve is negatively sloped. Average fixed cost is relatively high at small quantities of output, then declines as production increases. The more production increases, the more average fixed cost declines. The reason behind this perpetual decline is that a given FIXED cost is spread over an increasingly larger quantity of output.
Why firms do not always try to maximize profit?
Sometimes the managers of the firm may be more interested in their own gain, for example if the firm will maximise profits at 1000 units, anything produced after that has a higher Marginal cost than it does Marginal Revenue, profit wil start to decline. however managers may still aim to sell more than the 1000 if they are receiving a bonus for the amount of sales, they may choose to maximise sales rather than profits
