Very briefly summarize the relationships shown by (a) the consumption schedule, (b) the saving schedule, (c) the investment demand curve, and (d) the multiplier effect. Which of these relationships are direct (positive) relationships and which are inverse (negative) relationships? Why are consumption and saving in the United States greater today than they were a decade ago?
Please explain how a rise in the household saving rate can cause a fall in GDP?

- If there is an increase in the personal income tax rate, and people do not receive a pay increase, then disposable income will... decrease or increase Therefore, we can expect consumption spending to... decrease or increase and private saving to..... increase or decrease .arrow_forwardSuppose that disposable income, consumption, and saving in some country are $400 billion, $350 billion, and $50 billion, respectively. Next, assume that disposable income increases by $40 billion, consumption rises by $28 billion, and saving goes up by $12 billion. Instructions: In part a, round your answers to 2 decimal places. In part b, round your answers to 3 decimal places. a. What is the economy's MPC? MPC = What is its MPS? MPS = b. What was the APC before the increase in disposable income? APC before = What was the APC after the increase? APC after =arrow_forwardWhich 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.arrow_forward

Briefly explain why this is true assuming that consumption and investment decisions are taken by rational and forward-looking agents.arrow_forwardStep 2: The Effect of Saving on Total Expenditures The following table shows data for the economy before the decrease in saving. Suppose that the decrease in saving causes consumption to rise from $280 million to $320 million. Assume Say's law holds in this economy. Fill in the data for the economy after the decrease in saving. Before Saving Decrease $280 million $200 million $250 million $500 million $300 million Consumption (C) Investment (I) Government Purchases (G) Exports (EX) Imports (IM) As a result of the decrease in saving, total expenditures will After Saving Decrease $320 million million million $500 million $300 millionarrow_forward
