Answer #1

Answer:

(1) As we know that,

Change in consumption Change in disposable income

Given,Change in Consumption=$1000-$900=$100 and Change in disposable income=$1600-$1400=$200

Thus, MPC = 100 = 0.5

(2) If MPC=0.5

Autonomous Consumption (A)=$800 and Disposable income (Yd)=$1500

Then, Consumption=A+MPC*Yd=$800+0.5*$1500=$800+$750=$1550
