The table given below shows an economy’s demand for loanable funds and the supply of loanable funds schedules when the government’s budget is balanced.

If the government has a budget surplus of $1 trillion, what are the real interest rate, the quantity of investment, and the quantity of private saving? Is there any crowding out in this situation? 2. If the government has a budget deficit of $1 trillion, what are the real interest rate, the quantity of investment, and the quantity of private saving? Is there any crowding out in this situation? 3. If the government has a budget deficit of $1 trillion and the Ricardo-Barro effect occurs, what are the real interest rate and the quantity of investment?
The current market rate of interest is 10 percent. At that rate of interest, businesses borrow $300 billion per year for investment and consumers borrow $50 billion per year to finance purchases. The government is currently borrowing $150 billion per year to cover its budget deficit. a. Derive the market demand for loanable funds, and show how investors and consumerswill be affected if the budget deficit increases to $250 billion per year. Draw a graphto show your conclusion. b. Assuming taxpayers do not anticipate an increase in the future market rate of interestdue to the increase in budget deficit, show the impact of the increase in the budgetdeficit on the market for loanable funds. c. How would your conclusion differ if taxpayers fully anticipate future tax increases tooffset the increase in the budget deficit? d. Do you think the Ricardian Equivalence is realistic?

Suppose, the government of Australia incurs a budget deficit of $50 billion due to increased government spending in 2020 as result of Covid 19. Because of this, the government borrowing in 2021 increases by the same amount. a) Compare the size of equilibrium changes in 1) investment, 2) public saving, 3) private saving and 4) national saving (public saving + private saving) with $50 billion increase in borrowing. Compare the changes (increase/decrease) in these variables indicating same, less or more than the $50 billion. b) Will the equilibrium quantity of national savings change by more or less than the initial change in public saving? Explain your answer
By how much did the disposable income of rich people increase as a result of the 2017 drop in the top marginal tax rate from 39.6 percent to 37 percent? Assume rich people have $2 trillion of gross income in the highest bracket.
The graph illustrates the demand for loanable funds and the private supply of loanable funds when the government budget is balanced. In the graph, draw the supply of loanable funds curve if the government budget surplus is $0.2 trillion. Label the curve. Draw a point to show the new equilibrium real interest rate and quantity of loanable funds. >>> Draw only the objects specified in the question.
As a result of this policy, the equilibrium interest rate . Which of the following statements accurately describe the effect of the increase in government borrowing? Check all that apply. National saving decreases by less than $20 billion. Private saving increases by less than $20 billion. Public saving decreases by exactly $20 billion. Investment increases by less than $20 billion. The more elastic the supply of loanable funds, the is the change in national saving as a result of the increase in government borrowing. The more elastic the demand for loanable funds, the the change in national saving as a result of the increase in government borrowing. Suppose households believe that greater government borrowing today implies higher taxes to pay off the government debt in the future. This belief would cause people to save today, which would private saving and the supply of loanable funds. This would the…
