The consumption function is a straight-line relationship between consumption and
income.
True
O False
Suppose that consumption equals $500 billion when disposable income is $0 and that each increase of $100 billion in disposable income causes consumption to increase by $70 billion. Draw a graph of consumption function using this information. What is the slope of the consumption function?
Clearly explain the characteristics of the consumption function.
