Mike's saving and the change during the summer is $1,000 only.

Explanation:

After Tax Income for summar = $3,000

His Spending on goods and services = $2,000

Mike's saving during the summer = After Tax Income - Spending on Goods and Services

Mike's saving during the summer = $3,000 - $2,000 = $1,000

Mike's saving and the change during the summer is $1,000 only because ultimately saved amount will be added to his wealth. His wealth will be increased by the same amount.
