Solution

To find the new intercept of the consumption function, we need to subtract 10 units from the original intercept.

The original intercept of the consumption function is 100.

Subtracting 10 units from the original intercept, we get:

New intercept = 100 - 10 = 90.

Therefore, the new intercept of the consumption function is 90.

Consider the following consumption function:C=100+0.6YWhat is the marginal propensity to consume?

A consumer's spending is widely believed to be a function of their income. To estimate this relationship, a university professor randomly selected 19 of his students and collected information on their spending (Y, in dollars) and income (X, in dollars) patterns in week 6 of the semester. Assuming a linear relationship between Y and X, the professor used the least-squares method and found that the Y intercept = 20.90 and the slope = 0.66. Based on this information, the Y intercept should be interpreted as: a. When a student's weekly income equals zero, the mean value of his/her weekly spending is estimated to be $20.90. b. When a student's weekly spending equals zero, the mean value of his/her weekly income is estimated to be $21.56. c. When a student's weekly income equals zero, the mean value of his/her weekly spending is estimated to be $21.56. d. When a student's weekly spending equals zero, the mean value of his/her weekly income is estimated to be $20.90.
