Problem Set 4: Saving and Investment
Economists in Fantasialand, a closed economy, have collected the following information about the economy for a particular year: Y = 9000; C = 6000; T = 1500; G = 1700. The economists also estimate that the investment function is: I = 3300 - 100r, where r is the country’s real interest rate, expressed as a percentage (i.e. r = 1 means interest rate is one percent). Calculate private saving, public saving, national saving, investment, and the equilibrium real interest rate.
From the following data,
Level of income = 3200
Autonomous consumption = 400
Investment = 900
Calculate MPC
Explain what the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) are and carefully discuss three (3) reasons why they are needed. To be GIPS compliant, firms must adhere to all sections of the provisions within the GIPS standards. List and briefly explain (4) four provisions.

For each of the given scenarios, adjust the appropriate curve on the graph to help you complete the questions that follow. Treat each scenario separately by resetting the graph to its original state before examining the effect of each individual scenario. (graph in image) Scenario 1: Suppose savers either buy bonds or make deposits in savings accounts at banks. Initially, the interest income earned on bonds or deposits is taxed at a rate of 20%. Now suppose there is an increase in the tax rate on interest income, from 20% to 25%. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change. This change in the tax treatment of interest income from saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to (a. fall, b. rise) and the level of investment spending to (a. increase, b. decrease).
