Explanation of Solution

Dissaving occurs when the disposable income is zero, since the individual does not have income for their expenditure on goods and services, as a result the individual will not save a single percentage of dissaving. They are able to spend on goods and services by borrowing or purchasing goods on credit. Savings are zero when the disposable income accounts to $25 trillion, that is, in between $20 trillion and $30 trillion where disposable income equals consumption expenditure, savings account to zero.

Problem 1.1 Cyber security is a very costly dimension of doing business for many retailers and their customers who use credit and debit cards. A recent data breach of U.S.-based Home Depot involved some 56 million cardholders. Just to investigate and cover the immediate direct costs of this identity theft amounted to an estimated $62,000,000, of which $27,000,000 was recovered by insurance company payments. This does not include indirect costs, such as, lost future business, costs to banks, and cost to replace cards. If a cyber security vendor had proposed 8 years before the breach that a $10,000,000 investment in a malware detection system could guard the company's computer and payment systems from such a breach, would it have kept up with the rate of inflation estimated at 4% per year?
