in the last video where we generalized the linear consumption function . i said that the tax , the total amount of taxes , the aggregate taxes are constant , all of these were constants right here . you can merge them into a constant that ended up being our independent variable intercept right over here . youtube user ...
just to do that algebraically , we can rewrite this expression up here . you have aggregate consumption = my marginal propensity to consume times aggregate income + autonomous consumption , the amount that would be consumed no matter what . minus the marginal propensity to consume , shows up again .
would n't the base consumption ( csub0 ) has come out of the total income ( y ) ?
in the last video where we generalized the linear consumption function . i said that the tax , the total amount of taxes , the aggregate taxes are constant , all of these were constants right here . you can merge them into a constant that ended up being our independent variable intercept right over here . youtube user ...
this whole term right over here is essentially disposable income . disposable income right over here . we could actually , if we wanted to write this as some other variable we could just put that variable right over there and say it 's disposable income and then it actually becomes a very simple thing to graph .
if consumtion= base + disposable income , would n't we have to also substract , taxes and the base consumption to get to disposable income ?
in the last video where we generalized the linear consumption function . i said that the tax , the total amount of taxes , the aggregate taxes are constant , all of these were constants right here . you can merge them into a constant that ended up being our independent variable intercept right over here . youtube user ...
what is this term right over here ? well , ( 1 - t ) y , if the tax rate is 30 % then this 1 - 30 % is going to be 70 % . 70 % x aggregate income , that 's essentially what people get in their pockets .
is there any mathematical relationship between mpc and tax rates that the government makes use of to increase aggregate consumption : c1x ( 1 - t1 ) < c2x ( 1 - t2 ) ?
in the last video where we generalized the linear consumption function . i said that the tax , the total amount of taxes , the aggregate taxes are constant , all of these were constants right here . you can merge them into a constant that ended up being our independent variable intercept right over here . youtube user ...
i 'll switch the order here . well , let me not switch the order , times the tax rate , not just the aggregate total tax value but the actual tax rate times aggregate income . that 's those 2 terms there and then we 're just left with the autonomous consumption .
are n't tax rates not constant anyway ?

you can merge them into a constant that ended up being our independent variable intercept right over here . youtube user nilsor1337 asks a very interesting and good question . `` are n't taxes in some way a function of aggregate income ? `` in most modern economies `` people pay a percentage of their income .
hi , i need help please with the following question that i 'm struggling with : if tax function is given as t= -108+0.32y , how much would the government collect in taxes when the economy remains equilibrium ?
in the last video where we generalized the linear consumption function . i said that the tax , the total amount of taxes , the aggregate taxes are constant , all of these were constants right here . you can merge them into a constant that ended up being our independent variable intercept right over here . youtube user ...
i 'll switch the order here . well , let me not switch the order , times the tax rate , not just the aggregate total tax value but the actual tax rate times aggregate income . that 's those 2 terms there and then we 're just left with the autonomous consumption .
other information that is given is the proportional tax rate at 32 % the thing that confuses me is how do i use the given tax rate into the tax function that i 'm required to determine , should i substitute t by ty ?
in the last video where we generalized the linear consumption function . i said that the tax , the total amount of taxes , the aggregate taxes are constant , all of these were constants right here . you can merge them into a constant that ended up being our independent variable intercept right over here . youtube user ...
it 's essentially equal to this business right over there . then we could rewrite the consumption function as aggregate consumption = marginal propensity to consume times disposable income + sum level of autonomous consumption . plus sum level of autonomous consumption .
how consumption and saving function shifts downward when increase in indirect tax ?
alright , so last video i showed you guys this really crazy fact . we have our usual setup here for this constrained optimization situation . we have a function we wan na maximize , which i 'm thinking of as revenues for some company . a constraint , which i 'm thinking of as some kinda budget for that company . and ,...
i 'm not gon na have room here , am i ? so what you subtract off , minus lambda star at b of h star and s star , but each of these guys is also a function of little b , minus little b . so you have this large , kind of complicated multivariable function .
is it possible to find an expression for lambda star as a function of b ?

i think that 'll be useful . i 'm gon na rewrite the l if i consider it as a four variable function of h , s , lambda , and b , that what that equals is r evaluated h and s , minus lambda multiplied by this constraint function , b evaluated at h and s , minus little b . and this is now when i 'm considering little b to...
why would lambda* be written as a constant lambda* , rather than a function lambda* ( b ) , as the other variables h* ( b ) and s* ( b ) ?
if you took a glass of water and a needle , and you took that needle and you very carefully , very carefully dropped it on the water , it would stay there , and it 's not because it 's floating . this needle would not be floating on the water . this needle is more dense than water , and we know that if it 's more dens...
this adhesive force , this adhesion force , is important . it causes something called capillary action . so , let me get rid of this .

they 're actually attracted to the container too and other materials , and that 's called adhesion . so , the fact that water molecules are attracted to other materials as well is called adhesion . so , what happens is , this water molecule is n't just attracted to the other water molecules , it 's attracted to the wal...
also , i understand that adhesion helps the water molecules stick to the walls of the container , but how does it help the water molecules to keep climbing higher ?

if you have a container with liquid , or say water , and you took another container . you put it in here like a straw . if you just stick it in , what you 'll see is that because the liquid is attracted to the walls of this inner container , it does n't just stay at this level , it 'll rise above .
so what happens in the absence of gravity , like in space ?

so , it 's not floating . it 's actually just sitting on the surface , because there 's surface tension . water is a liquid that 's capable of having a significant amount of surface tension , and you know it 's surface tension because if you were to come in here and exert a little force down , breaking the surface tens...

yes , these water molecules down below will prevent them from just grouping into one big clump in the center , but since they 're less restricted , they can form these tighter bonds here at the surface , and this allows it to support a pressure from above . so , this allows it to support a certain amount of weight , wh...
how many free surfaces are there when a needle floats on liquid at rest ?

this is usually called the meniscus , and it 's caused by the adhesion , the attraction of water molecules to the container that it 's in . this adhesive force , this adhesion force , is important . it causes something called capillary action .
what will happen when cohesive force is equal to adhesive force ?
if you took a glass of water and a needle , and you took that needle and you very carefully , very carefully dropped it on the water , it would stay there , and it 's not because it 's floating . this needle would not be floating on the water . this needle is more dense than water , and we know that if it 's more dens...
it lowers the surface tension , which means these water molecules do n't clump together as much , and if they 're not clumping together , they can get into the small cracks , which kicks out the dirt in your hands , and this water is better able to penetrate into the smaller cracks and get where it needs to go . so , s...
is surface tension due to the surface molecules or due to the bulk of liquid ?
