Document Summary

Cfo ch 23: aggregate expenditure and equilibrium output. Aggregate output- the quantity total of goods and services produced (or supplied) in an economy in a given period real gdp . Aggregate income- the total income received by all factors of production in a given period. Aggregate output (income)- in any given period there is an exact equality between aggregate output (production) and aggregate income: the keynesian theory of consumption. If your income rises, you will spend (consume) more. Your rise in consumption will be less than the full rise in income. Consumption function- the relationship between consumption and income. Marginal propensity to consume (mpc)- that fraction of a change in b= slope of the line aka c/ y a= point where consumption function intersects the y axis income that is consumed or spent. The slope (b) of a consumption function is the mpc. Aggregate savings (s)- the part of aggregate income that is not consumed.
