Suppose a closed economy has an aggregate consumption function given by +0.50Yd and generates $2200 output and income in equilibrium. Suppose also that the government collects a lump-sum tax of 400. How much will the private sector be saving total in equilibrium? (round your answer to the nearest whole value) Your Answer:
