In an economy, when disposable income increases from $400 to $500, consumption expenditure increases from $480 billion to $540 billion. Calculate the marginal propensity to consume, the change in saving, and the marginal propensity to save. The marginal propensity to consume is [Answer to 2 decimal places]. When disposable income increases from $400 billion to $500 billion, saving increases by [enter your response here]. The marginal propensity to save is [enter your response here].

Consumption Function The consumption function in a certain economy is given by $$C(y)=0.75 y+6$$ where $C(y)$ is the personal consumption expenditure, $y$ is the disposable personal income, and both $C(y)$ and $y$ are measured in billions of dollars. Find $C(0), C(50),$ and $C(100).$
