Solution

1. Break Down the Problem

We need to determine the increase in savings resulting from an increase in national income. The given data indicates:

  • Initial national income: Y1=410Y_1 = 410 billion
  • New national income: Y2=430Y_2 = 430 billion
  • Marginal propensity to save (MPS): MPS=0.25MPS = 0.25

2. Relevant Concepts

The increase in savings can be calculated using the formula: ΔS=MPS×ΔY \Delta S = MPS \times \Delta Y where ΔS\Delta S is the change in savings and ΔY\Delta Y is the change in national income.

3. Analysis and Detail

First, we calculate the change in national income: ΔY=Y2Y1=430410=20 billion \Delta Y = Y_2 - Y_1 = 430 - 410 = 20 \text{ billion}

Next, we apply the MPS to find the change in savings: ΔS=MPS×ΔY=0.25×20=5 billion \Delta S = MPS \times \Delta Y = 0.25 \times 20 = 5 \text{ billion}

4. Verify and Summarize

The increase in savings, as calculated, indicates that savings will increase by 55 billion. The initial savings were 55 billion, hence the new savings would be: New Savings=Initial Savings+ΔS=5+5=10 billion \text{New Savings} = \text{Initial Savings} + \Delta S = 5 + 5 = 10 \text{ billion}

Final Answer

Savings will increase from 5billionto5 billion to 10 billion.
