5. LO 2,5 A consumer receives income y in the current period and income y' in the future
period, and pays taxes of t and t' in the current and future periods, respectively. The
consumer can borrow and lend at the real interest rate r. This consumer faces a constraint
on how much he or she can borrow, much like the credit limit typically placed on a credit
card account. That is, the consumer cannot borrow more than x, where x < we-y+t,
with we denoting lifetime wealth. Use diagrams to determine the effects on the consumer's
current consumption, future consumption, and saving of a change in x, and explain your
results.
Suppose total disposable income in Country X rises by $500 billion while total saving rises by $80 billion. What
would be the slope of the consumption function for this nation?
