Economists in Funlandia, a closed economy, have collected the following information about the economy for a particular year: Y = 10,000; C = 6,000; T = 1,500; G = 1,700. The economists also estimate that the investment function is: I =3,300 –100r where r is the country’s real interest rate, expressed as a percentage. Calculate private saving, public saving, national saving, investment, and the equilibrium real interest rate

Economists from Funlandia have collected the following information about the economy (all measured in billions of bucks): Y = 12, C= 9, T = 2, and G = 2.5. The economists also estimate the investment function is I = 2 – 0.5r where r is the country’s real interest rate expressed as a percentage. Calculate private saving, public saving, national saving, investment, and the real interest rate.

Problem Set 4: Saving and Investment Economists in Fantasialand, a closed economy, have collected the following information about the economy for a particular year: Y = 9000; C = 6000; T = 1500; G = 1700. The economists also estimate that the investment function is: I = 3300 - 100r, where r is the country’s real interest rate, expressed as a percentage (i.e. r = 1 means interest rate is one percent). Calculate private saving, public saving, national saving, investment, and the equilibrium real interest rate.
Economists in Funlandia, which has a closed economy, have collected the following information about the economy for a particular year: Y = 11,500 C = 7,000 T = 1,300 G = 1,900 The economists also estimate that the investment function is: I 3,200 - 100r where r is the country's real interest rate, expressed as a percentage.

Suppose the following equations represents a closed economy: Y= C + I + G Y = 4000 G = 500 T = 500 C = 500 + 0.7 (Y – T) I = 1000 – 40r In this economy, compute the value of consumption (C), private saving, public saving, and national saving. Also, find the equilibrium interest rate (r). Now suppose that government spending (G) rises (expansionary fiscal policy) to 300. Compute private saving, public saving, and national saving. Also, find the new equilibrium interest rate (r). In part (b), due to expansionary fiscal policy (increase in government spending), which of the two other components of aggregate demand changes, C or I? Why? (Hint: Note the real interest rate)

Assume that in this economy consumption (C) is given by the equation C = 600 + 0.6(Y – T). Investment (I) is given by the equation I = 2,000 – 100r, where r is the real rate of interest in percent terms. Taxes (T) are 500 and government spending (G) is also 500. What are the values of private saving, public saving, and national saving?
Consider the expressions T-G and Y-T-C. Which of the following statements is correct? Each one of these is equal to national saving. Each one of these is equal to public saving. The first of these is private saving; the second one is public saving. The first of these is public saving; the second one is private saving.
Consider an economy described by the following equations:Y=C + I +GY=7,000G=4000T=2,000C=150+0.75(Y-T)I=1,000-50rc. Now suppose the G rises by 1,000. Compute private saving, public saving, andnational saving and show a graphical representation of your answer.
Consider following equations: Y=C + I +G Y=7,000 G=4000 T=2,000 C=150+0.75(Y-T) I=1,000-50r Now suppose the G rises BY 1,000. Compute private saving, public saving, and national saving. Calculate the new equilibrium interest rate.
Consider an economy described by the following equations: Y = C+I+G Y = 5000 G = 1000 T = 1000 C = 250 + 0.75(Y-T) I = 1000 - 50r In this economy, compute private saving, public saving, and national saving. Find equilibrium interest rate. Now suppose that G rises to 1250. Compute private saving, public saving, and national saving. Find the new equilibrium interest rate. Using your knowledge of Macroeconomics and intuition explain the reason why increasing government expenditure causes interest rate to rise? If the government wants to increase the amount of savings in the economy, how should it alter government spending? What effect will this action have on the interest rate in the economy?
