Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Government spending = $3.90 trillion

Tax revenue = $4.50 trillion

GDP = $14.02 trillion

Consumer spending = $10.75 trillion.

National savings will be:

= GDP - Consumer spending - Government expenditure

= $14.02 - $10.75 - $3.90

= -$0.63 trillion

Public savings will be:

= Tax revenue - Government spending

= $4.50 trillion - $3.90 trillion

= $0.60 trillion

Private savings will be:

= GDP - Consumer spending - Tax revenue

= $14.02 - $10.75 - $4.50

= -$1.23 trillion
