Answer:

The level of saving =  $450 billion - $400 billion= $50 billion

Marginal propensity to save = 1- marginal propensity to consume (MPC)=0.5

Expected consumption

MPC=  change in Consumption/ change in income 200 billion * 0.5 = $100billion

Therefore consumption = 100 billion + 400 billion = $500 billion

Saving = $650 billion - $500 billion=  $ 150 billion

Amiraneli [1.4K]
