consumption you calculated‚ what is the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy? Is this the same as the parameter of the consumption function that represents the marginal propensity to consume? c. Write out the saving function for this economy. (HINT: S = YD – C. Substitute for C from the information above and simplify the right side of the equation). What is the level of saving when YD = 0? Explain how and why this occurs. What is the marginal propensity to save for this economy? How

1. Distinguish between average propensity to consume and marginal propensity to consume. An individuals’ average propensity to consume (APC) measures the proportion of their gross income which is spent on consumption‚ whereas an individuals’ marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is the proportion of each extra dollar of earned income that is/would be spent on consumption. 2. Consider a person earning $1000 a week who consumes $700 of their income. Suppose that when they receive a 20 percent pay

5 Part (a) Consumption function: is the relation of consumption with its determinants. Graphically drawn as:. Mathematically it is written as: C = C + c(Y – T) C: Consumption Spending C: Exogenous Consumption c : Marginal Propensity to Consume (0 < c < 1) Y: Aggregate Income T: Taxes Explaining the main components: Exogenous consumption: factors other than disposable income that affect consumption. So when consumers feel optimistic about their future‚ they will generally

expenditure depends on the marginal propensity to consume. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is the fraction of a change in disposable income that is consumed. The marginal propensity to consume is calculated as the change in consumption expenditure ΔC‚ divided by the change in disposable income‚ ΔYD. That is: MPC = ΔC ÷ ΔYD The extent to which a change in disposable income changes saving depends on the marginal propensity to save. The marginal propensity to save (MPS) is the fraction

increase the consumers marginal propensity to consume which will therefore shift aggregate demand to the right as all of this additional income is being spent‚ this right shift will then lead to an increase in \economic growth‚ this is shown on the graph below. The government can also decrease taxes such as VAT which will also increases consumer spending as it will make consumers have more disposable income therefore acting as an incentive for them to consume‚ causing aggregate

economy‚ when the society becomes more prosperous‚ such as in the situation with demand-pull inflation‚ the citizens are taxed more‚ therefore decreasing the marginal propensity to consume‚ and decreasing consumption. The marginal propensity to consume is the fraction of any change in disposable income spent for consumer goods. If this decreases‚ demand will not be as high above‚ or even above where the supply is‚ therefore reducing the demand - pull inflation. Another way to stabilize demand - pull

is (3) [1] Incorrect. An increase in taxes reduces disposable income and consumption. Hence aggregate spending and aggregate demand will fall‚ resulting in a decrease in the demand for labour. Incorrect. An increase in the interest rate reduces investment spending; decreasing aggregate spending and aggregate demand‚ resulting in a decrease in the demand for labour. Correct. Increased demand for exports will increase aggregate demand and production. Thus stimulating the demand for labour. Incorrect
