Answer:

Consumption expenditure is $7,930 billion

Explanation:

Consumption function: C = A + MD

where,

C is the consumer spending,

A is the autonomous consumption  

M is the marginal propensity to consume

D is the disposable income

MPC = Increase in consumption ÷  Increase in income

        = $610 ÷  $1000

        = 0.61

Therefore,

C = 1,769 + 0.61 (10,100)

    = 1,769 + 6,161

   = $7,930

Therefore, the Consumption expenditure is $7,930 billion.
