The argument above is a deductive reasoning. A deductive reasoning draws a conclusion from a series of premises that are held to be true. The argument also employs no informal fallacy. The confusion lies though on the first premise if it is true.
Answer:
Autonomous consumption is <u>$1,000</u> and the marginal propensity to consume is <u>0.9</u>.
A consumer whose income increases by $100 will increase consumption by <u>$90</u>.
Explanation:
Given C = 1000 + 0.9Y
Autonomous consumption refers to consumption expenditure of consumers that does not depend on income. Therefore, autonomous consumption is therefore the consumption expenditure made by the consumers when they do not have income or when income is zero (i.e. when Y = 0).
Substituting for Y = 0 into the consumption function, we can obtain autonomous consumption is follows:
Autonomous consumption = 1000 + (0.9 * 0) = 1,000
The marginal propensity to consume refers to the proportion of the increase in disposable income that is spent on the consumption of goods and services by a consumer. From the consumption function, the marginal propensity to consume is 0.9.
Since marginal propensity to consume is 0.9, a consumer whose income increases by $100 will therefore increase consumption by $90 (i.e. $100 * 0.9 = $90).
Answer:
c) Broker Factor.

A broker factor is an agent that sells goods that are from someone else for a comission and this person takes possession of the products that is selling. Also, a broker factor can make a sell in his/her name and has authorization to receive the money from the sale. Because of this, Mike's relationship with K&M is that of a broker factor.
