Income Consumption and Saving
• Consumption (C) and Saving (S)
• Primarily determined by
Disposable Income (DI)
• Directly related to DI
• Saving = “not spending”

Interest Rate – Investment Relationship
LO4
Investment Decision
• Marginal-benefit/Marginal-cost Decision
• Marginal-benefit from investment
– = expected rate of return
• Marginal-cost
– = interest rate paid on borrowed funds
LO4
Interest Rate and Investment
• Guided by profit motive
• Expected rate of return (r)
– = Expected profit / Cost
• Real interest rate (i)
– Interest cost of investment
• = interest rate x $ borrowed
• Invest as long as r ≥ i
LO4
Instability of Investment
• Variability of expectations
• Durability
• Irregularity of innovation
• Variability of profits
