Answer to Question 1

In this simple economy, the value of output (y) equals the value of income. Households can either consume or save income, so saving equals output minus consumption (S = y - C). In this economy, output equals consumption plus investment (y = C + I). Since y = C + I and S = y - C (or, rewritten, y = C + S), this means C + I = C + S, or saving equals investment (S = I).

Answer to Question 2
