What are the variables (the items measured on the axes) in a graph of the (a) consumption schedule and (b) saving schedule? Are the variables inversely (negatively) related, or are they directly (positively) related? What is the fundamental reason that the levels of consumption and saving in the United States are each higher today than they were a decade ago?

How is it possible for investment spending to increase even in a period in which the real interest rate rises?
Suppose that disposable income, consumption, and saving in some country are \(200 billion, \)150 billion, and \(50 billion, respectively. Next, assume that disposable income increases by \)20 billion, consumption rises by \(18 billion, and saving goes up by \)2 billion. What is the economy’s MPC? Its MPS? What was the APC before the increase in disposable income? After the increase?
