Question

Transcribed Image Text:An economy has a national income of 2,118. Its government spending is 505, and taxes are 663. Given that the
consumption function is
C = 65 + 1(Y - T)
and that the investment function is
| = 730 - 69
What is the national savings? Round your answer to the nearest two decimal place.

- ..arrow_forwardConsider the following functions for consumption and investment: C = 1,000 + (2/3)*(Y – T) and I = 1,200 – 100*r. Furthermore, Y = 8,000, G = 2500, T = 2,000. Compute private, public, and national savings for this economy, and find the equilibrium real interest rate (r). Assume that G declines by 500 units. How will it change your answers in part (a)? What happens to the national savings, given everything else, if the public decides to consume less out of their disposable income (assume that the propensity of consume falls by 10 percent)? Given your answer in part (c), what happens to investment and real interest rate? Answer all four.arrow_forwardConsider an economy described as follows: Y = C + I + G. Y = 8,000. G = 2,500. T = 2,000. C = 1000 + 2/3(Y – T). I = 1,200 + 100r. In this economy, compute private saving, public saving, and national saving. Find the equilibrium interest rate. Now suppose that G is reduced by 500. Compute private saving, public saving, and national saving. Find the new equilibrium interest ratearrow_forward
- Suppose real GDP is $6,182 billion, taxes collected by the government are $719 billion, government spending is $820 billion, and consumption spending is $4,478 billion. What is the value of national saving?arrow_forwardConsider a closed economy with a gross domestic product (Y) of 800, consumption expenditure (C) of 500, government expenditure (G) of 100 and tax revenues (T) of 190. The figures are in billions of dollars. Suppose the investment expenditure function is I = 300 – 50r, where r is the real interest rate expressed as a percentage. a) State the equation between Y and the three components of expenditure. b) Calculate private saving (Sp), public saving (Sg), and national saving (S). c) Calculate investment (I). d) Calculate the equilibrium real interest rate and quantity of loanable funds. e) If the government ran a budget deficit of $30 billion in the next period, explain how this would affect the market for loanable funds.arrow_forwardEconomists in Funlandia, a closed economy, have collected the following information about the economy for a particular year: Y = 10,000; C = 6,000; T = 1,500; G = 1,700. The economists also estimate that the investment function is: I =3,300 –100r where r is the country’s real interest rate, expressed as a percentage. Calculate private saving, public saving, national saving, investment, and the equilibrium real interest ratearrow_forward
