Answer to Question #317257 in Macroeconomics for Tshidi

Question

Suppose the consumption equation is represented by the following :c= 250+0.75yd.

Calculate private savings

Answer 1

Solution

c= 250+0.75yd.

Therefore,

Private Savings = National Income – Tax – Consumption

If saving =0, then C=Y

Y=250+0.75Yd

Y = 250+0.75(Y -40-0.2Y)

Y=250+0.75Y-30-0.15Y

Put like terms together and simplify

Y-0.6Y=220

0.4Y=220

$Y=\frac{220}{0.4}$

$Y=550$

Savings will be 550
