According to how we model the Loanable Funds market in Ch. 6 (considering household savings and taking (T – G) as government’s net ‘saving,’ which could be negative it there were a budget deficit), which of the following shifts the Supply of Loanable Funds curve to the left? (T = taxes; G = government spending.) Group of answer choices A) higher tax rates on business investment spending B) a change in tastes toward consuming less C) higher budget deficit D) change in tastes toward saving more E) lower budget deficit
In a given economy, consumption is given by C = 1000+ (Y-T) If the real GDP is 9,606 and taxes and government spending are 2,408 each, what is national savings? Give your answer as a whole number.
1. How does the U.S. savings rate compare to that of another country? 2. How is the U.S. doing? 3. What does the Bible say about saving and/or investing? According to Prov. 13:22, Prov. 22:7, Rom. 13:8, Matt. 25:14-30, and Luke 19:12-26.
Define Purchase of Investment.
In a closed economy, Y = $15 billion C = $12.0 billion | = $1.5 billion TR = $3.0 billion T = $2.0 billion Calculate each of the following (round each answer to one decimal place). Private savings = $ billion Public savings = $ billion Total savings in this economy = $| billion The government's budget deficit or surplus = $ billion (enter a negative number for a deficit, positive number for surplus).
Amid the global pandemic, economic activity in many countries in the world has decreased substantially causing a significant reduction in tax revenues. Mexico projects a budget deficit of $20 billion dollars next year. The government of Mexico borrows $20 billion more next year than this year from the market for loanable funds. Answer both parts below assuming that Mexico is a closed economy. a) Use a diagram for the market for loanable funds to analyze this policy. Does the interest rate rise or fall? What happens to investment and national saving? Note: make sure you label your diagram properly. b) Suppose households believe that greater government borrowing today implies higher taxes to pay off the government debt in the future. What does this belief do to private saving and the supply of loanable funds today? Does this change the results you discussed in part (a)?
Explain why changes in government spending are viewed as nearly always affecting national saving, while changes in taxes are viewed as having more ambiguous effects on national saving and real interest rates. Why does it matter?
2. Suppose GDP is $10,000 trillion, taxes are $1,500 trillion, consumption is $6,000 trillion, and government expenditure is $1,700 trillion. Investment is a function of the interest rate such that it is represented by the following equation (in trillions): 3,300 Where is the world real interest rate, expressed as a percentage. Use this information to calculate private savings, public savings, and national savings. I = - 100 * i
In a closed economy, Y = $19 billion C = $15.2 billion I = $1.9 billion TR = $4.0 billion T =$3.0 billion Calculate each of the following (round each answer to one decimal place). Private savings = $ ____billion Public savings = $____billion Total savings in this economy = $____ billion The government's budget deficit or surplus = $____billion (enter a negative number for a deficit, positive number for surplus).
