Answer 1

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the above information,

a. Private saving is computed as;

Private saving = National income - Consumption - Taxes

= $1,700 - $900 - $100

= $700

Therefore, private saving is $700

b. Public saving is computed as;

Public saving = Taxes - Government spending

= $100 - $600

= -$500

Therefore, public saving is -$500

c. National saving is computed as;

National saving = Private saving + Public saving

= $700 + (-$500)

= $200

Therefore, national saving is $200
