Explain how each of this will affect the consumption and saving schedules (as they relate to GDP) or the investment schedule, other things equal:
A sizable increase in the retirement age for collecting Social Security benefits.
Explain how each of the following will affect the consumption and saving schedules (as they relate to GDP) or the investment schedule, other things equal:a. A large increase in the value of real estate, including private houses.
Linear equations for the consumption and saving schedules take the general form C = a + bY and S = -a + (1 - b)Y, where C, S, and Y are consumption, saving, and national income, respectively. The constant a represents the vertical intercept, and b represents the slope of the consumption schedule.a. Use the following data to substitute numerical values for a and b in the consumption and saving equations. b. What is the economic meaning of b? Of (1 - b)? c. Suppose that the amount of saving that occurs at each level of national income falls by $20 but that the values of b and (1 - b) remain unchanged. Restate the saving and consumption equations for the new numerical values, and cite a factor that might have caused the change.
