Answer


(C) On the same graph in part (A), show another point, labeled Z, that represents full employed and a new combination of consumer goods and capital goods consistent with the increase in the nations increased savings.

Higher rate of savings implies a higher rate of capital investment which will lead to more future growth.

Answer
