Given Table 12-6 below, fill in the values for saving. Assume taxes = $800. Table 12-6

National Income
$11,400
11,800
12,200
12,600
Consumption
$7,500
7,800

8,400

What are the savings .

Saving =  National Income - Consumption - Taxes

Explanation:

Savings are the part of income that is not spent or paid in taxes. So it can be calculated by subtraction consumption from the national income.

National Income (Y) = C+ T + S

Therefore,

S= Y - C - T

That is the part of income that is not spent or paid in taxes is called savings.

National Income   Consumption  Taxes    Savings

$11,400                        $7,500           $800    $3,100

$11,800                        $7,800           $800    $3,200

$12,200                       $8,100            $800    $3,300

$12,600                       $8,400           $800    $3,400

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
