Answer to Question 1

A Saving is what is left from income after consumption expendi-ture and net taxes are paid.

Answer to Question 2

Elasticities are useful because they are unit-free, and one can therefore compare elasticities between different types of goods. In contrast, slopes are not unitless. Hence, comparison between different products is much easier with elasticity.
