Question 2
Economists in Lalaland, a closed economy, have collected the following information about the
economy for a particular year:
Y = 11,000
C = 7,000
T = 2,000
G = 2,200
The economists also estimate that the investment function is:
I = 3,300 – 100 r,
where r is the country’s real interest rate, expressed as a percentage. Calculate
+ Private saving = Y – T – C = 11,000 – 7,000 – 2,000 = 2,000
+ Public saving = T – G = 2,000 – 2,200 = -200
+ National saving = Investment = Public Saving + Private Saving = 2,000 – 200 = 1,800
+ The equilibrium real interest rate
3,300 – 100r = 1,800
 100r = 1,500
 r = 15%
