Consumption and Saving - End of Chapter Problem Use the accompanying graph illustrating the marginal benefit of consumption to answer the following questions. a. You became a licensed electrician last year and have been enjoying a higher income than ever before. You choose to spend the majority of your income on amenities you couldn't previously afford. Place point A at a point that plausibly represents your current level of consumption. b. After many years of work as an electrician, a major economic downturn leaves you unemployed. You're finding that you must pinch pennies just to afford basic necessities. You decide to return to school, so you can pursue a career in computer programming. Place point B at a point that plausibly represents this level of consumption. c. Given the two previous events, place point C at a point that represents consumption smoothing over the long run.

The levels of real disposable income and aggregate expenditures for a two-sector economy (consumption and investment) are given in the following table: Real disposable income (trillions of dollars per year) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Consumption (C) (trillions of dollars per year) 3.00 3.25 3.50 3.75 4.00 4.25 4.50 4.75 5.00 a. Construct a graph of the consumption function (C). b. Determine the autonomous consumption, MPC, and MPS for this hypothetical economy. c. What is the break-even income consumption of real disposable income? d. What is the amount of dissaving at $2 trillion real disposable income and the savings at $7 trillion?
