- Consumption and Saving- End of Chapter Problem Which one of the following reasons makes it easier to forecast the impact of an income change on consumption for hand-to-mouth consumers than for consumption smoothers? It is easier because hand-to-mouth consumers only spend their permanent income. hand-to-mouth consumers save a large portion of their income. the marginal propensity to consume is 1 for consumption smoothers. hand-to-mouth consumers spend their entire income as they earn it.arrow_forwardAssume the following consumption schedule: C= 20 + 0.9 Y, where C is consumption and Y is disposable income.
