Solution

The Keynesian consumption function is consistent with the observation that consumption can increase even if disposable income remains the same. This is because the Keynesian consumption function suggests that consumption is not solely dependent on current income, but also on expectations of future income. Therefore, if consumers expect their income to increase in the future, they may choose to consume more in the present, even if their current income has not changed.
