This table displays economic data for different levels of output (income). All figures are in billions of dollars. It includes five columns representing various economic activities:
1. **Output (Income)**: Represents the total income or production in the economy.
2. **Consumption Spending**: The amount spent by households on goods and services.
3. **Net Taxes**: Total taxes minus any government transfers, which remain constant at 100 billion.
4. **Investment Spending**: Expenditures on goods used for future production, also constant at 200 billion.
5. **Government Spending**: Expenditures by the government on goods and services, constant at 100 billion.
The table illustrates how consumption spending increases with rising output, while net taxes, investment, and government spending remain constant.
