LEAKAGE: A non-consumption uses of income, including saving, taxes, and imports. Leakages are combined with injections in the injection-leakage model used to identify equilibrium aggregate output in Keynesian economics. The notion of leakage is best viewed through the circular flow, in which saving, taxes, and imports are "leaked" out of the main flow between output, factor payments, national income, and consumption.

This table is a supply schedule presenting the relationship between supply price and quantity supplied. Our relationship is between the supply price in the middle column and the quantity of stuffed animals supplied in the right-hand column. Assumptions: - Ceteris paribus factors do not change.
- Quantities are supplied for a specific time period, such as one year.
Some observations about the supply schedule:- First, higher prices go with larger quantities supplied-the law of supply.
- Second, the prices are minimum values for the given quantities.
- Third, supply is the whole set of price/quantity pair numbers. Quantity supplied is any single number at the specified price.
- Fourth, these numbers are hypothetical, presenting a 'what if' relationship.
