Question

A country has been in existence for only two years.

Answer 1

Answer:

-1.0 million

Explanation:

the debt issued in the second year is equal to the sum of the excess of revenues over outlays

in year 1, debt = $1.0 million - $1.5 million = $-0.5 million

In year 2, debt  = $1.5 million - $2.0 million = $-0.5 million

$-0.5 million + $-0.5 million  = -1.0 million
