O Macmillan Learning The graph represents consumption (C) as a function of disposable income (DI). Assume the consumption function is linear. What is the value of the marginal propensity to consume (MPC)? Round the value of the MPC to two decimal places. Consumption $1050 900 MPC = 750 600 450 300 150 C = DI C 0 $150 300 450 600 750 900 1050 Disposable income

If preferences for pizza increase and the price of labor to produce pizza decreases, the equilibrium quantity of pizza will ____ and the equilibrium price of pizza will _____ . increase, increase decrease, be indeerminate increase, be indeterminate increase, decrease   Assume an intertemporal budget constraint that shows how consumption can be traded off between two periods, t and t+1. Assume the consumer can save and borrow at the same interest rate of 10%. Assume the consumer collects income of $100 in each period. To gain an extra $10 dollars in period t+1, what must the consumer give up in period t? $11 $9.10 $1 $10   A convex indifference curve implies what type of behavior? diminishing marginal utility complementary goods perfect substitutes inferior goods

Explain the term random walk in consumption. Under what conditions will consumption follow such a behaviour?.

Suppose the household wants to consume equal amounts in two periods. She earns $100 in the first period and $150 in the second period. The interest rate depends on whether she saves or borrows. The interest rate on saving is 1%, while the interest rate on borrowing is 10%. What is her optimal consumption? Be sure to explain why you choose to save or borrow.

Consider an economy described by the following:Autonomous consumption ( a ) = 100Autonomous Investment = 100Marginal propensity to consume = 0.75 What is the savings function for this economy?

If you practice consumption smoothing, O you always spend less than you earn. there will be times in your life when it makes sense to borrow. O you make sure your current consumption matches your current income. O you do not save for the future.

Allie has a marginal propensity to consume of 0.75. What does this mean?    a. He's spending more than he's making in income b. 75 cents of every additional dollar of his income is saved. c. 75 cents of every additional dollar of his income is spent on consumption. d. 25 cents of every additional dollar of his income is spent on consumption.

What is this household's marginal propensity to consume at c1 (in percent)?

Assume in a simple economy that the level of saving is –500 whenaggregate output equals zero and that the marginal propensity tosave is 0.2. Derive the saving function and the consumption func-tion, and draw a graph showing these functions. At what level ofaggregate output does the consumption curve cross the 45° line?Explain your answer and show this on the graph.

Consider an economy that is described by the following: Autonomous consumption = 100 Autonomous investment = 100 Marginal propensity to consume = 0.75   a. What is the consumption function of this economy? b. Derive the equilibrium income of this economy? c. How large is the change in the equilibrium income if investment rises to 200?
