C3 HANDOUT (Formula)
APC = Consumption = C
Income Y
APS + APC = 1
APS = Saving = S
Income Y
i. Y=C
ii. S=0
iii. APC = 1 (this is because all income is spend)
iv. APS = 0 (this is because there is no savings)
C = a + bYd
C = total consumption
a = autonomous consumption
b = slope or MPC
Yd = consumption
Yd = disposable income
S = - a + (1-b)Yd
S = total saving
- a = autonomous saving @
dissaving
(1-b) = slope or MPS
Yd = disposable income
Accelerator principle W = ∆ I / ∆Y
