Answer 1

Answer:

c. -$1 billion and $3 billion.

Explanation:

GDP = C + I + G

 20  = 15 + 2 + G

G = 20 - 15 - 2 = 3

The government spending is 3 billion. which makes only option c or d correct.

Now we need to solve for public savings:

Taxes -  Goverment Spending  = Public savings

2 - 3 = -1

the government runs with a 1 billion deficit.

This makes option c correc
