Please answer #2 and 3.
Suppose that the linear equation for consumption in a hypothetical economy is C = 40 + .8Y. Also suppose that income (Y ) is $400. Determine (a) the marginal propensity to consume, (b) the marginal propensity to save, (c) the level of consumption, (d ) the average propensity to consume, (e) the level of saving, and ( f ) the average propensity to save.
1. The marginal propensity to consume is:A) the change in consumption divided by the change in income.B) consumption divided by income.C) the change in consumption divided by the change in saving.D) The change in saving divided by the change in income.
