a)
Public saving:
There is a fall in the public saving by the 100 Billion. So saving will decrease by 100 Billion. Government expenditure does not change.
b)
Private saving = MPS*100
= 0.20*100
= 20 Billion.
c)
Public Saving = Private saving + Public Saving.
= 20 + ( -100)
= - 80 Billion fall.
d)
There will be 80 billion fall in the investments.

11. Consider an economy with a marginal propensity to consume of 0.60. What would its marginal propensity to save be? What would happen to consumption (give the direction and size of the effect) if income taxes (T) were to increase by 100, assuming that real aggregate income is unaffected? What would happen to private saving? To public saving? To national saving? Suppose, instead, that government purchases (G) increase by 100. Assuming that aggregate income is unaffected, what would happen to...
Gregory Mankiw, Macroecomomics (10th) Chapter 3: Problems and Applications #8, 10, 11 8. The government raises taxes by $100 billion. If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.6, what happens to the following? Do they rise or fall? By what amounts? a. Public saving b. Private saving c. National saving d. Investment 10. Work It Out Consider an economy described as follows: Y 8,000 G 2,500 T= 2,000 C 1,000 +2/3 (Y-T) 1 = 1,200-100 r. a. In this economy,...
7. Consider a closed economy where the marginal propensity to consume is 0.85. Technological progress increases GDP by 20 billion pesos. Expansionary fiscal policy results in a $10 billion decrease in tax revenue and a $12 billion increase in the government budget deficit. (a) Calculate the (dollar) change in government spending. (b) Calculate the approximate (dollar) changes in private, public, and na- tional saving (c) Will the equilibrium real interest rate increase, decrease, or stay the same? Use a supply-demand...
2. Suppose GDP of a closed economy is $10 billion, consumption is $7 billion, private saving is $1 billion and public saving is $0.2 billion. Calculate taxes, government purchases, national saving and investment.
In a closed economy where the taxes are autonomous and marginal consumption propensity is X; how much increase on national income does generate an increase of Y billion public expenditures financed by an equal amount of tax increase? (chose a value for x and y and make the calculation)
A closed economy has income of $1,200 billion, government spending of $220 billion, taxes of $170 billion, and investment spending of $250 billion. Consumption spending is $ billion. Private saving is $ billion. Public saving is $ billion. National saving is $ billion. Enter whole numbers.
Suppose the marginal propensity to consume is 0.8. The government increases government spending and taxes by $10 billion. What happens to aggregate output demanded?
For the Kingdom of Wakanda, which is a closed economy, total output is equal to $30 billion and consumption equals $15 billion. The Wakandan government spends $5 billion and has a budget surplus of $1 billion. 1. Find government saving, taxes, private saving and national saving. Please show clearly how you calculated your final answers, and box/circle your final answers (in billions of dollars) with proper labels (e.g. T = $x billion ). 2. Suppose now the Wakandan government cuts...

Suppose that investment expenditures increases by $300 billion in a closed and private economy (no government or foreign trade). Assume further that households have a marginal propensity to consume of 75 percent. What will be the final cumulative impact on spending? $900 billion $225 billion $375 billion $525 billion
