Suppose a certain economys consumption function is as follow
Suppose a certain economy\'s consumption function is as follows, where C(x) and x are measured in billions of dollars.
C(x) = 0.792x^1.1 + 27.5
Find the marginal propensity to consume (dC/dx) when x = 13. (Round your answer to three decimal places
C(x) = 0.792x^1.1 + 27.5
Find the marginal propensity to consume (dC/dx) when x = 13. (Round your answer to three decimal places
Solution
C(x) = 0.792x^1.1 + 27.5 dC/dx = (1.1 x 0.792) x^.1 when x = 13. dC/dx = 1.126
