CONSUMPTION FUNCTION
Consumption expenditure
depend upon:
their disposable Y
their past savings
rate of interest
of
individuals
CONSUMPTION FUNCTION
C = f (Y)
Where C: Consumption spending
Y: income
C = a + bY
Where C : consumption
a : autonomous consumption
b : MPC
Y : income
Graphical representation
Plot the graph for C = 200 + 0.75Y
FEW CONCEPTS.
APC = C / Y
MPC = C / Y
APS = S / Y
MPS = S / Y
APC + APS = 1
MPC + MPS = 1
