Suppose that consumption equals $500 billion when disposable income is $0 and that each increase of $100 billion in disposable income causes consumption to increase by $70 billion. Draw a graph of consumption function using this information. What is the slope of the consumption function?
Construct a consumption function from the data given here and determine the MPC.
Given the consumption function in the above question, what is the relationship between disposable income and consumption? Is it direct or indirect and then explain what it means.
In a simple economy (assume there are no taxes, thus Y is disposable income), the consumption function is
C= 100 +0.75Y
Investment is equal to 400.
In this economy, equilibrium GDP is $
