    Answer: $66000

    Explanation:

    Annual consumer spending could be calculated using the relation;

    Annual Consumer Spending = (Disposable income * Marginal propensity to consume) + Autonomous consumption spending

    Disposable income = $70000

    Marginal propensity to consume = 0.8

    Autonomous consumption = $10000

    Therefore,

    Annual consumer spending =

    ($70000 * 0.8) + $ 10000

    $56000 + $10000 = $66000
