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.

assume you are given a $100 raise, and decide to save $20 of that money. also assume that if you make zero income in a year, you will still spend $7000. a.) what is your consumption function? b.) if you earn $20000 in a year how much will you spend? c.) will you be able to save while earning the above income?
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?
Find the equilibrium level of GDP (income or V) demanded in an economy in which investment (1) is always $300, net exports (X-IM) are always - 550, government expenditures (G) and taxes (T) are each equal to $400, and the consumption function is described by the following algebraic equation: C = 150 + 0.75Dl DI is disposable income. How much saving (5) is there at the equilibrium level of income. Hint: (1) Dl = Y (national income or GDP) minus taxes (Y-T) (2) Income (Y) not consumed (C) must be saved (S). This means that S = Y-C. (3) to answer this you have to set Y=AE or Y=C+1+G (X-IM), and solve for Y. Then you have to solve for S.
Assume the following consumption schedule: C = 20 + 0.9Y, where C is consumption and Y is disposable income. At a(n) $1,000 level of disposable income, the level of saving is $80. $920. $180. $18.
The graph represents consumption (C) as a function of disposable income (DI). Assume the consumption function is linear. What is the value of the marginal propensity to consume (MPC)? Round the value of the MPC to two decimal places. MPC = Consumption $1050 900 750 600 450 300 150 0 $150 300 450 600 C = DI C 750 900 1050 Disposable income
