The nationwide COVID-19 lockdown in March 2020 resulted in a decline in spending on travel services, restaurants, and recreation as they were no longer accessible. As consumers spent more time at home, household consumption shifted to goods such as food, furnishings, and alcohol, with increases in the use of online platforms for their purchases. The gradual reopening of the economy and international borders saw household consumption recover as supply and demand for discretionary services resumed. Suppose the Consumption function of an individual is as follows: C = CO + b Yd Where C = Consumption function CO= Autonomous Consumption b = Marginal Propensity to consume Yd = Disposable income a. Illustrate the effect of change in wealth on Consumption Function. b. Illustrate the effect of a change in expected future income on Consumption Function. c. Illustrate the effect of a change in the real interest rate on the Consumption Function
