Let assume an economy in this year with the following loanable funds (LF) market demand equation. Demand: r = 8 – 0.005 * Qp Where, r is the real interest rate (ifr=12 then the interest rate is 12%), Q, in the quantity demanded of loanable funds (total investment). The government expenditures (G) is $300 billion, collected taxes (T) equal to $700 billion, and private saving is $800 billion. 1. Calculate the value of government savings in this economy. Is the...
