Answer:

The current account deficit will increase from 1% to 31% of GDP.

Explanation:

National saving and investment identity helps in understanding the determinants of trade and current account balance. The current account is in balance when the quantity demanded of financial capital is equal to the quantity supplied of financial capital.  

Here, the government saving or surplus and private savings are the supply of financial capital and investment indicates demand for financial capital.

The current account balance is

= Supply of capital - Demand for capital

= (30 + 2)% - 33%

= 32% - 33%

= -1%

So the current account is in deficit by 1% of GDP.  

If the private savings becomes zero, the current account balance will be

= Supply of capital - Demand for capital

= 2% - 33%

= -31%

The current account will be in deficit by 31%.

You take out a loan for $100,000 at an annual interest rate of 5.9% that is to be paid with three equal annual payments of $37,3
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The principal repaid in the second year will be $33,296.

Explanation:

Out of each 37,341.79 payment a part of it will be principal repayment and a part of it will be interest payment. When the first 100,000 is paid (0.059*100,000)=5,900 is interest and (37,341-5,900)= 31,441 is principal repayment which means, that in the second year the principal remaining is (100,000-31,441)=68,559. So the interest payment in the second year will be (0.059*68,559)=4,045 and the principal repaid will be (37,341-4,045)=33,296.
