Explanation / Answer

GDP(Y) = C+I+G
1330 = 700+280+G
G = 350
T = 455

National saving = Private saving + Public saving = 175+105 = 280

Private saving = (Y-T)-C = (1330-455)-700 = 175
Public saving = T-G = 455-350 = 105

Budget surplus/Deficit = Tax-Government spending = 455-350 = 105 which is surplus budget
