Deriving the Consumption Function from Economic Data
An economist observes that in a particular economy, if aggregate income were zero, total spending would be $400 billion. They also determine that for every $10 increase in aggregate income, total spending rises by $8. Formulate the algebraic equation that represents this economy's aggregate consumption (C) as a function of aggregate income (Y), assuming all values are in billions of dollars.

An economy's spending behavior is described by the equation C = 200 + 0.75Y, where C is total consumption and Y is total income. If the total income in this economy is 1,000, what is the total aggregate consumption?
An economy's aggregate consumption is described by the equation C = 300 + 0.7Y, where C is total consumption and Y is total income. If total income in this economy increases by $1,000, what is the source of the corresponding increase in total consumption?
