Table 10.7 provides some hypothetical data on
macroeconomic accounts for three countries represented
by A, B, and C and measured in billions of currency
units. In Table 10.7, private household saving is SH,
tax revenue is T, government spending is G, and
investment spending is I.
| A | B | C | |
| SH | 700 | 500 | 600 |
| T | 00 | 500 | 500 |
| G | 600 | 350 | 650 |
| I | 800 | 400 | 450 |
