Suppose that GDP is $10,000, Consumption is $6,000, and Government spending is $1,500 with a deficit of $200. (Assume net exports are zero) What is the level of private saving in this economy

Respuesta :

Answer:

private saving = $2700

Explanation:

given data

GDP = $10,000

Consumption = $6,000

Government spending = $1,500

deficit = $200

solution

we know here equation of GDP that is express as

GDP = Consumption + investment + Government spending   ...................1

we consider here tax revenue that is = T

T - Government spending = - deficit

T = Government spending - deficit

T = $1500 - $200

T = $1300

so we can say from equation 1

( GDP - Consumption - T ) + ( T - Government spending ) = investment

and investment = private saving + public saving

so private saving will be

private saving = GDP - Consumption - tax revenue  ................2

private saving = $10000 - $6000 - $1300

private saving = $2700
