12. Savings decisions
Kevin is a postdoctoral fellow who teaches astrophysics at a university where he earns an annual salary of $80,000. He intends to take the next year
off to focus on writing a new undergraduate physics textbook, so he will not earn any income next year. He is currently deciding how much of this
year's salary he should save for next year. Assume that there are no tax implications associated with the decision, and ignore what happens after next
year. Therefore, next year Kevin will consume whatever he saves this year plus interest, and he is not concerned with the future beyond next year.
The following graph shows Kevin's preferences for consumption this year and next year. Suppose initially Kevin cannot earn interest on the money he
saves.
Use the green line (triangle symbol) to plot Kevin's budget constraint (BC) on the following graph. Then use the black point (plus symbol) to show
his optimum consumption bundle.

Consider 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.
Suppose that a new free trade agreement allows the economy to import cheaper goods from overseas, thereby decreasing the general price level.
Adjust the following graph by either shifting the consumption function curve or the initial point on the consumption function curve (A) to illustrate the impact of a fall in the price level.

- Scenario 1: Suppose savers either buy bonds or make deposits in savings accounts at banks. Initially, the interest income earned on bonds or deposits is taxed at a rate of 20%. Now suppose there is a decrease in the tax rate on interest income, from 20% to 15%. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change.

- Q5) Consumption-Saving Choice Based on Abel, Bernanke and Croushore, 10th edition, Chapter 4, Numerical Problems No. 1. A consumer is making saving plans for this year and next. She knows her real income after taxes will be $50,000 in both years. Any part of her income saved this year will earn a real interest rate of 10% between this year and next year. Currently, the consumer has no wealth (no money in the bank or other financial assets, and no debts). There is no uncertainty about the future. a) Formally derive the consumer's intertemporal budget constraint. b) Using the given numerical values rewrite and graph the budget line. c) Find the consumer's PVLR.arrow_forwardAssume you are the Minister of Finance and Economic Planning for Ghana, in charge of Fiscal Policy.
