The part of income not spent is________.
Options
1.saving
2.consumption
3.investment
4.capital
Solution
The part of income not spent is saving.
Explanation:
Income has two main components i.e., savings and consumption. Thus, if the income is not spent on consumption of goods and services, it is saved by the consumers.
