Consumption function is given by C = 1000 + 0.7Yd or C = 1000 + 0.7*10000 = 8000. Saving = Yd - consumption or saving = 10000 - 8000 = 2000.
Now assume that mpc = 0.8. Consumption C = 1000 + 0.8*10000 = 9000. Saving = Yd - consumption or saving = 10000 - 9000 = 1000.
Hence, as MPC rises, savings should fall because increased income is now more used in consumption that as savings.
Using the Keynesian consumption function, prove numberically that, as the MPC rises from 0.7 to 0.8,...

Using a graph explain the Keynesian consumption function showing how the MPC and the APC in the function are affected by an increase in income
Define the following Keynesian consumption function – C = ??? MPC, MPS Investment – Planned/Intended vs Actual Savings Aggregate Demand (Ag Expenditure) function – AD = ???? AD function changes due to changes in a, b, Ip Unplanned inventory changes Multiplier
The following data for an imaginary economy. MPC = b = 0.8 , autonomous consumption = $50 M , Investment = $100 M , Government spending = $80 M, Transfer payments = $40 M, Taxes = $12 M Using this data calculate: a. The level of national income b. The level of Saving
Consider the Keynesian Consumption function C 2000 + 0.8 (Y - T) C is personal consumption Y is personal income T is income taxes Also suppose Y = 40,000 T = 0.25Y Calculate APC and APS Calculate the Multiplier and interpret its value

If the MPC in an economy equals 0.8, and disposable income falls by $100, consumption spending will fall by _____. A. $8.00 B. $0.80 C. $80 D. $20 E. $500
1. Suppose consumption rises from $900 to $1000 and disposable income rises from $1400 to $1600. What is the MPC? Show work 2. Using the MPC that you got for question 1, what is consumption if autonomous consumption is $800 and disposable income is $1500. Show work
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...
The consumption function is given by the equation: C = 400 + 0.8(Yd) where C = consumption and Yd = disposable income. Currently, the level of disposable income is $5000. What is the current level of consumption? What is the current level of saving? What is the MPC? What is the MPS? Calculate the APC and the APS. 6. We are given the following information about the levels of disposable income and savings: Disposable Income Consumption Savings APC APS MPC...
