Suppose you know the following facts about consumer behavior of Amy in 2019. In a year, Amy spends $10000 on basic household items regardless of how much she is earning. For every dollar of disposable income earned, Amy spends 50% on extra purchases. Amy pays taxes in the amount of $1000, and receives no transfers. Use this information to: Derive Amy’s consumption function in nominal terms. Suppose the price level index in the economy for 2019 is estimated to be P = 2. Rewrite the consumption function in real terms.

Suppose that the least amount of goods and services that Jim will consume in a year is $40,000. Jim tends to save $0.30 of every dollar of disposable income that he makes. Use the given line to graph Jim's consumption function for disposable income levels between $0 and $200,000. Move each endpoint to the appropriate spot on the graph.

Which of the following correctly describes how a decrease in the price level affects consumption spending? Select one: a. A decrease in the price level raises real wealth, which causes consumption to increase. b. A decrease in the price level decreases the amount of money a household needs to buy goods and so raises the interest rate, which causes consumption to increase. c. A decrease in the price level increases the amount of money a household needs to buy goods and so raises the interest rate, which causes consumption to increase. d. A decrease in the price level lowers real wealth, which causes consumption to decrease.
The following graph shows the market for loanable funds in a closed economy. The upward-sloping orange line represents the supply of loanable funds, and the downward-sloping blue line represents the demand for loanable funds. 10 Supply 8 Demand 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 LOANABLE FUNDS (Billions of dollars) is the source of the supply of loanable funds. As the interest rate falls, the quantity of loanable funds supplied increases v Suppose the interest rate is 4.5%. Based on the previous graph, the quantity of loanable funds supplied is v than the quantity of loans demanded, resulting in a v of loanable funds. This would encourage lenders to v the interest rates they charge, thereby v the quantity of loanable funds supplied and v the quantity of loanable funds demanded, moving the market toward the equilibrium interest rate of 5% .

1. Suppose your annual income is $82,000 this year and it is expected to increase 25% next year. The market interest rate is 3%. a. Please illustrate all possible consumption patterns with a figure. Do not forget to label your axes. b. You believe that your consumption this year and your consumption next year should be the same. If you follow your plan and consume equally in those two years, how much should you save or borrow this year?
Suppose, that a consumer is a saver, who saves some of his first-period income, and interest rate increases. Discuss the income and substitution effects on consumption in both periods. How consumptions in both periods will change?
