Determinants of Planned Consumption and Planned Saving • Average Propensity to Consume (APC) • Consumption divided by disposable income • The proportion of total disposable income that is consumed Or C/Yd
Determinants of Planned Consumption and Planned Saving • Average Propensity to Save (APS) • Saving divided by disposable income • The proportion of total disposable income that is saved Or S/Yd
Determinants of Planned Consumption and Planned Saving Since the proportion of income spent and saved must equal 100% of disposable income, then the
Determinants of Planned Consumption and Planned Saving • For Example: Real Disposable Income (RDI)=$6000 Consumption (C)=$5800, Saving(S)=$200 APC=C/RDI=$5800/$6000=0.967 APS=S/RDI=$200/$6000=0.033 APC+APS=0.967(APC)+0.033(APS)=1.00ALWAYS Equals 1.00!
Determinants of Planned Consumption and Planned Saving • Example • Income = $18,000 • C= $16,400 • S = $1,600
Determinants of Planned Consumption and Planned Saving • Example • Income increases $2,000 to $20,000 • C = $18,000 • S = $2,000
Determinants of Planned Consumption and Planned Saving • Question • What is your APC and APS?
Determinants of Planned Consumption and Planned Saving • Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC). • The ratio of the change in consumption to the change in disposable income. • Percentage of any additionaldisposable income that is consumed. Or ΔC/ΔRDI
Determinants of Planned Consumption and Planned Saving • Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS). • The ratio of the change in saving to the change in disposable income. • The percentage of any additional income that is saved. Or ΔS/ΔRDI
Determinants of Planned Consumption and Planned Saving • Since 100% of any change in disposable income must be consumed or saved, then the MPC +MPS=1. • For Example- RDI increases by $1000, consumption increases by $800, and saving increases by $200. MPC= Change in C/Change in Income=$800/$1000=0.8 or 80% of NEW income consumed. MPS= Change in S/Change in Income=$200/$1000=0.2 or 20% of NEW income saved. Therefore-MPC+MPS=0.8+ 0.2= 1.00. ALWAYS EQUALS 1. Note- MPC is constant slope of consumption function. MPS is constant slope of saving function.
Determinants of Planned Consumption and Planned Saving • Example Income1 = $18,000 Income1 = $20,000 C1 = 16,400 C2 = 18,000 S1 = 1,600 S2 = 2,000 3) APC? 4) APS? 5) MPC? 6) MPS? 1) APC? 2) APS?
