Answer:
Explanation:
The total Expenditure is the summation of all the following parameters ( Spending on Education, Spending on Welfare and social security, Spending on Healthcare, Spending on Defense, Payments on Debt, Other Spending)
The total Expenditure = $(320+890+270+120+170+240) million
The total Expenditure = $2010 million
However;
The total Revenue = Income Tax+ Sales Tax+ Corporate Tax+ Social Insurance
The total Revenue = $(800+270+300+340) million
The total Revenue = $1710 million
The debt now will be the difference between the total expenditure and the total revenue.
Debt = $(2010-1710) million
Debt = $300 million
Therefore, Littleland needs to borrow $300 million
At the end of 2010, the total debt = Total debt of 2009 + amount borrowed in 2010
Total debt of 2009 = $ 3.5 billion
amount borrowed in 2010 = $0.3 billion
At the end of 2010, the total debt = $(3.5+0.3) billion
At the end of 2010, the total debt = $3.8 billion
Therefore; the Debt to GDP ratio in 2010 = 3.8/7.3 = 52.05%
The Debt to GDP ratio in 2010 = 52.05%
To the nearest whole percentage ≅ 52%
