THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION IS JOE HAS A HIGHER ONE
Answer:
Imports is 50.
Current account balance is -30.
Total savings is 30.
After tax reduction total savings is 10.
Explanation:
GNP is given as 100.
The consumption expenditure is 70.
The investment expenditure is 40.
The government spending is 20.
The exports are given as 20.
GNP = C + I + G + EX - IM
100 = 70 + 40 + 20 + 20 - IM
100 = 150 - IM
IM = 50
The current account balance is the difference between exports and imports.
Current account balance
= EX - IM
= 20 - 50
= -30
Total savings in the economy is the difference between disposable income and consumption.
Total savings
= Y - C
= 100 - 70
= 30
In case government reduces taxes, the private saving will increase while the public saving will decrease.
Private saving
= Y - T - C
= 100 - 10 - 70
=20
Public saving
= T - G
= 10-20
= -10
Total saving
= Private saving + Public saving
= 20 + (-10)
= 20 - 10
= 10
