    Answer in explanation

    Explanation:

    We calculate each of the metrics for the country Alpha using the appropriate formula;

    National saving

    Mathematically, National saving = Public saving + Private saving

    Private saving = Total income - Tax Revenue - Consumption or Y - T - C or household + Business savings = 200 + 300 = 500

    Public saving

    Mathematically, Public saving = Tax revenue - expenditures = T - G = 220 - (80 + 100) = 40

    National saving is thus: 500 + 40 = 540

    National saving rate

    Mathematically, National saving rate = (National saving * 100) / GDP = (540 * 100) / 1800 = 30%
