Suppose that a new free trade agreement allows the economy to import cheaper goods from overseas, thereby decreasing the general price level. Adjust the following graph by either shifting the consumption function curve or the initial point on the consumption function curve (A) to illustrate the impact of a fall in the price level.
Draw the consumption function for the economy of Macroland C= 60+0.7Y with aggregate Income levels of $100, 200, 300, 400, 500 on the X axis and the corresponding aggregate consumption on the Y axis. Label the graphs and plot all points of income and consumption on the graph.
Consider the hypothetical country of Kejimkujik. Suppose that national income in Kejimkujik is $300 billion, households pay $100 billion in taxes, household consumption is equal to $160 billion, and the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.6. On the following graph, use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot the economy's consumption function.
