Hello. Firstly, thanks to you. You helped me a lot during my hard at the same time not understandable semester and sessions. I am so grateful for that really. Everything would be perfect squared, if you would put numbers to your videos. Because they are scattered, it a little bit hard to put them together in mind.

Thank you for this video. Very helpful

Thank you for sharing this, i understand it better now

I think it would have been easier to grasp if you did not call the 500 "base consumption", but rather called it "survival consumption". The 500 is the amount people NEED to spend in order to survive, while anything above 500 is their propensity to spend, or you could say, "Anything above 500 is optional spending". That's why we multiply anything above 500 by MPC.

Thank professor that I always hear your voice in all khan academy video for the explanation.

I used to watch ur video in class 10th specially maths and science

[mehrdaruvalla]

Omg this was so helpful and so to the point... Good work 🎈

[leetcheet]

This was further confused when you drew the second curve starting below 500, meaning you changed the amount of consumption needed to survive...Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

[DanTheMan]

I like this.
Keep doing your thang! lol

[pandaonsteroids]

My professor explained this very well. I think I got a good one! You just helped me get into my head one more time. Thanks for your videos!

Seems over complicated. A lot of this stuff is simply made complicated to justify specialism and cost.

Hello sir
I wanna start teaching on YouTube, how can I get this same blackboard

[shanyabowen]

How do you find the marginal propensity to spend if disposable income is 80%, the MPC is 0.75 and imports are 27 percent?

[khashya]

How do you find marginal propensity to save given the consumption function?

[sharmilamahato]

Sir how is disposable income calculated?

[georgeteachhakchhuak]

I'm new and not too good at english, does 500 implies our necessary consumption and 60% of disposable income implies our unnecessary consumption..

[mircovladimof]

Please how can you calculate APC and MPC given C=1000 + 0.25yd
