Draw the consumption function as the relation of the consumer's income and expenditure.
What does the slope of the consumption function depend on?
Is the consumer's income the only factor determining the level of his consumption spending?
Calculate the equilibrium income by using the consumption function formula. 1. Y =C 2. Y= C+I 3. Y = C+I+G 4. Y= C+I+G+Nx Given: C = 100; I = 150; G = 100; m= 50; x=35; change in DY = 900; change in C = 630
The consumption demand function merely states that as income goes up, households consume all their increased income
