Answer to Question 1

For changes in aggregate income that are unexpected, the Keynesian consumption function captures the impact on current consumption. If economic behavior is guided by rational expectations, and there are no surprises, then aggregate income reflects all available information so, again, the Keynesian consumption function is a good model.

Answer to Question 2

D
