Answer: To afford to retire
Explanation: The life cycle theory was established by Modigliani in 1957. This theory states that a rational individual manages its expenses with the motive of saving sufficient amount till his or her retirement.
As per this theory, the individual consumes almost same amount of income which leads to the situation of borrowing in times of low income and savings in times of high income.
However the minor differences leads to savings high than borrowings in times of low income the individual significant lowers his or her capital expenditure.

Answer:
Explanation:
When Leverett's exports became less popular, its savings, Y-C-G does not change. Reason being that, it is assumed that Y depends on the amount of capital and labour, consumption depends only on disposable income and government spending is a fixed extrinsic variable.
Since investment depends on interest rate, and Leverett is a small open economy that takes the interest rate as given, thus investment also does not change . Neither does net export change (This is shown by the S-I curve in the attachment).
The decreased popularity of Leverett's exports leads to an inward shift of the net export curve inward. At the new equilibrium,net exports remains unchanged, though the currency has depreciated.
Leverett's trade balance remained the same, despite the fact that its exports are less popular, this is due to the fact that the depreciated currency provides a stimulus to net exports which overcomes the unpopularity of its exports by making them cheaper.
b. Leverett's currency now buys less foreign currency, thus traveling abroad becomes more expensive. This is an instance showing that imports (including foreign travel) have become more expensive- as required to keep net exports unchanged in the case of decreased demand for exports.
Answer: c. small changes in economic growth rate lead to large GDP changes over time.
Explanation:
If there is even a small change in the rate at which the economy is growing, this increase will increase by even more the year afterward and then even more as time goes on. This is because the interest is being compounded overtime.
Look at the future value formula that shows compounding for instance:
Future value = Amount * (1 + rate) ^ number of periods
Assume even a change of 2% in the growth rate. In 30 years, this rate would have increased the economy by:
= 1 * ( 1 + 2%)³⁰
= 1.81
Which is a rate of:
= 1.81 - 1
= 81%
What started off as only 2% became 81% in 30 years. This is what compounding does.
If this is a true or false statement, then true.
