Consider the following data for a closed economy:
Y = $11 Trillion
C = $8 Trillion
I = $2 Trillion
TR = $1 Trillion
T= $3 Trillion
Use these data to calculate the following:
a. Private saving
b. Public saving
c. Goverment purchases
d. The goverment budget deficit or budget surplus

Respuesta :

Answer: The answer is given below

Explanation:

a. . Private saving

Private saving=Y+TR-C-T

= $11t + $1t - $8t - $3t

= $12 trillion - $11 trillion

= $1 trillion

b. Public saving

Public Saving= T-G-TR

Since G is not given, we can use:

I = public saving + private saving

$2t = public savings + $1t

Public saving= $2 trillion - $1 trillion

Public savings = $1 trillion

c. Goverment purchases

Since public savings = T - G - TR

$1t = $3t - G - $1t

G = $3t - $1t - $1t

G = $3 trillion - $2 trillion

G = $1 trillion

d. The goverment budget deficit or budget surplus.

There is a budget surplus of $1 trillion which has been calculated in the public savings.
