    a) $100 b) $925 c) $75 d) $25 e) $100

    Explanation:

    GDP = $1,000

    Government purchases = $200

    Consumption = $700

    Budget surplus = $25

    We use the formula

    GDP = consumption + Investment + government spending.

    zero imports and exports because it's a closed economy.

    1) Investment = GDP - (consumption + government spending)

    I = $1000 - $900

    Investment = $100

    National savings (a. k. a. investment) = public savings + private savings = $100

    Public savings = Budget surplus = $25

    Private savings = National savings - Public savings

    Private savings = $100 - $25 = $75

    budget balance = Taxes - expenditure

    $25 = Taxes - ($700 + $200) = $925
