Explanation / Answer

The right answer is option 5. $717 billion.

Explanation:

Total Income (Y) = Consumpiton (C) + Investment (I) + Government Spending (G) + Next Export (X)

Private savings (Sp)= Income (Y) Consumption (C) Taxes (T) = Y - C - T

Public saving (Sg) = Taxes (T) - Government Expenses (G) = T- G

Total Savings = Public Savings + Private Savings = (T - G) + (Y - C - T) = T - G + Y - C - T = Y - G - C = (C + I + G + X) - G - C = I + X = 737 + (-20) = 737 - 20 = $717 billion
