Solution
Statement 1 is true, and Statement 2 is false.
Explanation:
Statement 1 is true because the linear consumption function assumes that consumption changes at a constant rate with changes in income, represented by the Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC). Statement 2 is false because `C/Y` is the Average Propensity to Consume (APC), whereas autonomous consumption is the consumption that occurs even when income is zero.
