Answer:

$0.12 billion; a budget surplus

Explanation:

Given that,

Total spending for the last fiscal year = $4.71 billion

Tax collected during the same fiscal year = $4.83 billion

Government transfers = $0

Lilliput's budget balance:

= (Taxes - Government transfers) - Total spending of government

= ($4.83 billion - $0) - $4.71 billion

= $0.12 billion

Therefore, the Lilliput has a budget surplus during the last fiscal year because of the positive budget balance.

= 8,000 + (2% * 5,000) + (10% * 5,000)

= 8,000 + 100 + 500

= $8,600
