If a family's annual disposable income rose from $60,000 to $65,000 and their desired consumption expenditures rose from $50,000 to $54,000, it can be concluded that the family's OA) average propensity to save is 0.8. OB) average propensity to consume is 0.8 OC) marginal propensity to consume is 0.8 OD) marginal propensity to consume is $800. There will be a favourable change in a nation's terms of trade if the OA) export and import prices stay the same. OB) export...
