- What about other costs of attending college? It depends on the whether or not you give up something to pursue the activity of attending college.
- Room and board? Because you would have eaten and slept even if had you not attended college, room and board is not an expense of going to college, it's just an expense of life.
- Opportunity cost results from giving up something.

INTERCEPT, SAVING LINE The intercept of the saving line indicates autonomous saving, saving that does not depend on the level of income or production. This can be thought of as the baseline level of saving that would be undertaken if income falls to zero. Autonomous saving is affected by the consumption expenditures determinants, which cause a change in the intercept and a shift of the saving line. The value of the intercept of the saving line is the negative of the value of the intercept of the consumption line.
