You are given the following information
Savings S = 150
Investment I = 100
Taxes T = 250
Government Purchases G = 500
Compute the level of private savings, public savings, national savings, and net exports.
Private savings S - I = 150 - 100 = 50
Public savings T - G = 250 - 500 = -250
National savings (S - I) + (T - G) = 50 + (-250 ) = -200
Net exports X - M = (S - I) + (T - G) = -200
