Assume the economy is open to capital inflows and outflows and therefore net capital inflow equals imports (IM) minus exports (X). Answer each of the following questions.

a. X = $125 million
IM = $80 million
Budget balance = -$200 million
I = $350 million Calculate private savings.

b. X = $85 million
IM = $135 million
Private savings = $250 million
Calculate I.

c. X = $60 million
IM = $95 million
Private savings = $325 million
I = $300 million
Calculate the budget balance.

d. Private savings = $325 million
I = $400 million
Budget balance = $10 million
Calculate IM - X.

A. $595 million

B $400million

C.$60million

D. $65million

Explanation:

See attached file

A) I = Private savings + Budget balance + (IM - X). We use this to solve for the missing variable of each problem.

$350 million = Private savings - $200 million + ($80 million - $125 million)

so, private savings = $595 million

B) I = $250 million + $100 million + ( $135 million - $85 million)

so, I - $400 million

C) $300 million - $325 million + Budget balance + ( $95million - $60million)

so, the budget balance = - $60 million

D) $400 million = $325 million + $10 million + (IM - X)

So, capital inflow (IM - X) = $65 million
