The Consumption Sector

,Consumption
Consumption is the nation’s expenditures
on all final goods and services produced
during the year at market prices
GDP=C+I+G+Xn
Americans spend over 95% of their
income after taxes
The total of everyone’s expenditures is
called consumption
 Consumption is designated by the letter C
C is the largest sector of GDP
Now C is just over two-thirds of GDP

,Consumption (Continued)
The consumption function states
As income rises, consumption (C) rises,
but not as quickly
Therefore, consumption varies with
disposable income (DI)
 DI increases . . . C increases but by a smaller
amount
 DI decreases . . . C decreases but by a smaller

amount
