Answer to Question 2

An increase in wealth increases consumption at each level of disposable income (shifts the consumption curve upward). A rise in the price level reduces the real value of assets. This reduction in wealth reduces consumption at each level of income (shifts the consumption curve downward). An increase in interest rates the reward for saving and discourages borrowers from securing current spending power. An increase in interest rates, therefore, will shift the consumption curve downward. A rise in price expectations may encourage more households to buy now to beat the expected price increase regardless of their current disposable income (shifts the consumption curve upward).
