Economic Components Breakdown
Example: National Economic Analysis
Scenario
Country: Hypothetical Economy
GDP: $7,000 billion
Taxes: $1,400 billion (20% tax rate)
Consumption: $4,200 billion
Government Transfers: $300 billion
Calculation
Disposable Income = $7,000B - $1,400B + $300B = $5,900B
Private Savings = $5,900B - $4,200B = $1,700B
Savings Rate = ($1,700B / $5,900B) × 100 = 28.8%
Result: High savings rate supporting strong capital formation
