(1) C = 150000 + 0.95Y
MPC = dC / dY
MPC = 0.95
Marginal propensity to consume is 0.95
MPC = dC / dY
0.95 = dC / $27 billion.
dC = 0.95 * ($27 billion)
dC = $25.65 billion.
Aggregate consumtpion spending will increase by $25.65 billon if aggegate income increases by $27 billion.
(2) Saving (S) = Y - C
S= Y -C
0 = Y - 150000 -0.95Y
0 = 0.05Y - 150000
0.05Y = 150000
Y = 150000 / 0.05
Y = 3000000
Y = $3000000
At Y = $3000000, Saving will be zero.
(3) C = 150000 + 0.95Y
S = -150000 + (1-0.95) Y
S = -150000 + 0.05Y (Saving function)
MPS = dS / dY
MPS = 0.05
Marginal propensity to save is 0.05
MPS = dS / dY
0.05 = dS / $27 billion.
dS = 0.05 * ($27 billion)
dS = $1.35 billion.
Aggregate saving will increase by $1.35 billon if aggegate income increases by $27 billion.

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...

In an economy, when disposable income increases from $400 to $500, consumption expenditure increases from $420 billion to $500. Calculate the marginal propensity to consume, the change in saving, and the marginal propensity to save. The marginal propensity to consume is 0.80. >>> Answer to 2 decimal places. When disposable income increases from $400 billion to $500 billion, saving increases by $ 20 billion. The marginal propensity to save is 0.20 >>> Answer to 2 decimal places.
Would someone explain to me how to get the answers, please. I need the graphs plotted, the blue box answer, and the fill in the blanks answered. Below are the options. Options for the first graph it says: From the preceding data, you know that the level of saving in the economy was ($140 billion, $20 billion, $0 billion, $100 billion) and the marginal propensity to save in the economy is (0.6, 0.8, 0.1, 0.2) Options for the second graph...
11. Consider an economy with a marginal propensity to consume of 0.60. What would its marginal propensity to save be? What would happen to consumption (give the direction and size of the effect) if income taxes (T) were to increase by 100, assuming that real aggregate income is unaffected? What would happen to private saving? To public saving? To national saving? Suppose, instead, that government purchases (G) increase by 100. Assuming that aggregate income is unaffected, what would happen to...
