Y = C + I + G Y = 5000

G = 2000

T = 2000

Thanks a ton.

could you pls just confirm the answers ?

[ѻἏўєѕḩḁ ѻ]

a)      Private savings

Private saving = Y-T-C

                        = (5000-2000-2500)

                        = 500

b)     Public savings

Public savings=T-G

                         = (2000-2000)

                         = 0

c)      National savings

National savings= Public savings + Private savings

                             = (500+0)

                             = 500

 

[ѻἏўєѕḩḁ ѻ]

All answers are correct 

[B.COM (Sem 4 - Final)]

C = 250 + 0.75(Y −T)

as per illustration it shows 2500 ?

[ѻἏўєѕḩḁ ѻ]

minus 2500 with the value of Y and T then you will get the answer
