Answer 1

Answer:

How much did Karrie save during 2017?

• $500,000

How much did she spend on consumption goods and​ services?

• $1,000,000

Explanation:

Karrie's after taxes net income for 2017 = $1,500,000

Beginning assets 2017 = $800,000

Ending assets 2017 = $1,300,000

Karrie's savings = amount by which her assets increased during the year:

$1,300,000 - $800,000 = $500,000

Karrie's consumption = net income - savings = $1,500,000 - $500,000 = $1,000,000

An individual either spends or saves the money that he/she earns, so any money not saved can be considered money spent.
