What's the equation for aggregate demand?
Aggregate Demand (AD) =
C + I + G + (X-M)
Lesson Objectives:
1)You will all show understanding for what consumption entails.
2)You should be to identify what influences consumption.
3)You could choose consumption as an evaluative tool in relation to AD.

L.O 1) You will all show understanding for what consumption entails.
The consumption function
There are a number of factors that determine how much a household consumes.
Consumption & these factors = the consumption function Most important factor – disposable income.
L.O. 2: You should be to identify what influences consumption.

The consumption function
There are a number of factors that determine how much a household consumes.
L.O. 2: You should be to identify what influences consumption.
Factors influencing
consumptionIncome
Wealth- Physical (houses, cars,
furniture)- Monetary (cash, money in
bank, stocks, shares, pensions)
Inflation
Interest rates
Availability of creditExpectations
Composition of households
Disposable Income Most important factor – disposable income.
L.O.3: You could choose consumption as an evaluative tool in relation to AD.
Example:
Suzie earns £1000 a month in 2014, due to 2015 salary increases at her company she earns £1200 a month. Economic theory predicts that the consumption of her household will rise.
But – how much will it rise? This measurement is the Marginal propensity to consume (MPC).
Marginal Propensity to Consume
L.O. 3:You could choose consumption as an evaluative tool in relation to AD.
Example: Suzie earns £1000 a month in 2014, due to 2015 salary increases at her company she earns £1200 a month.
Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) = change in consumption
-------------------------------------
change in income
If the £200 rise in income leads to £150 rise in consumption:
MPC = 150 -------- = 0.75 200
For the economy as a whole the MPC is likely to be positive but less than 1.
Marginal Propensity to Consume
L.O.3: You could choose consumption as an evaluative tool in relation to AD.
Question 1: Bob earns £2000 a month in 2014, due to 2015 salary increases at his company he earns £2500 a month.
Question 2Harry earns £550 a month, he has a salary increase of £100.
Question 3Penny and Ken have a combined income of £3000 a month, Ken has a pay increase of £400 a month.
Question 4Hardeep earns 10% more a month on an average income from his market stall of £1500.
£100 not spent in all cases.
Average Propensity to Consume
APC measures the average amount spent on consumption out of total income.
Example: if total disposable income (y) in an economy were £100 billion and consumption (c) were £90 billion then APC would be –
90---- = 0.9 100
In a developed economy APC is likely to be less than 1 because consumers will also save part of their earnings.
