 Fill in the blanks in the table

Economics Nov 07, 2020

 Fill in the blanks in the table. Debt/GDP f= 5% r= 2% Interest/GDP Year Debt GDP (Y) b Deficit Interest i 0 $5,000 $10,000 50.0% $500.0 $100.0 1.00% 1 % $ $ % 2 % $ $ % With g = 4% and f= 5%, eventually debt will be % of GDP because of formula b* = ! ; with r=2%, gov interest payments on its debt will be % of GDP because i* =r

Expert Solution

    g=4% debt/gdp f=5% r=2% interest/gdp
YEAR DEBT GDP b DEFICIT INTEREST i
0 5000 10000 50% 500 100 1%
1 5500 10400 52.9% 520 110 1.06%
2 6020 10816 55.7% 540.8 120.4 1.11%

In the above table:

Deficit of the past year is added to the debt of the current year. so deficit of year 0 was added to the debt of year 0 and hence the debt in year 1 was 5500.

GDP is growing at 4% every year. Deficit is 5% of each year which means:

year o deficit= 10000*5% = 500

year 1 deficit = 10400*5% = 520 and so on.

Interest in calculated on Debt each year.

Eventually Debt will be 100% of GDP because debt is growing at a fasters rate than GDP. [b = Debt/ gdp]

As the debt is equal to GDP, interest rate will be 2% of GDP because i = r*debt/GDP [Debt = GDP]

i = r.
