5. Graphing the consumption function from the MPC Consider a hypothetical economy in which the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.50. That is, if disposable income increases by $1, consumption increases by 50¢. Suppose further that last year disposable income in the economy was $400 billion and consumption was $350 billion. On the following graph, use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot this economy's consumption function based on these data. Consumption Function CONSUMPTION (Billions of dollars) 0 800...
Economic model is characterised by the following data:
* Private consumption C = 800 + 0.9*DI
* Gross investment Ig = 400
* Government spending G = 500
* Sum of Taxes T = 300
* Disposable income DI = Y – T
Calculate:
* Equilibrium level of income Y (Y= 14300)
* Private consumption at macroeconomic equilibrium C =
13400
Develop equation of saving and calculate amount of saving at
the point of macroeconomic equilibrium. S=. 600
