    Answer: The answer is given below

    Explanation:

    Assume that the individual lives for two periods which are present and future.

    The individual savings in the present period will be:

    = current income - current consumption

    = 40000 - 32000

    = 8000

    Interest income earned on the savings:

    = 15% of savings

    = 0.15 * 8000

    = 1200

    Therefore, the consumption in future period will be the sum of the next period income, the savings from current period and interest income that is earned on the savings.

    Consumption in next period:

    = 44000 + 8000 + 1200

    = 53200
