Answer: $5,300

Explanation:

Private Saving refers to money that households did not consume nor pay as taxes so the formula is;

= Output - Consumption - Taxes

= 14,000 - 7,500 - 1,200

= $5,300

Public Saving refers to money that the government got as revenue but did not spend so the formula is;

= Taxes - Government Spending

= 1,200 - 1,200

= $0

Total Saving (Private + Public Saving)

= 5,300 + 0

= $5,300
