SAVING FUNCTION: The positive relation between household saving and household disposable income. The saving function is commonly presented as the saving line or propensity-to-saving line. The slope of this line is the marginal propensity to save, which is the proportion of any additional income used for saving. The saving function and the marginal propensity to saving play key roles in the multiplier and accelerator concepts. Because consumption is the difference between disposable income and saving, the consumption function is a complementary relation to the saving function.

This market has a 50-cent price and a 400-tape quantity in equilibrium.- Note the demand price and the supply price if the quantity is 300 tapes.
- The demand price is 60 cents. This is the value of the good produced.
- The supply price is 40 cents. This is the value of goods not produced.
- Producing this quantity is the same as giving up 40 cents and getting 60 cents in return.
- 300 tapes is not an efficient use of resources
