Explain why each of the following statements is True, False, or Uncertain according to economic principles. Use diagrams where appropriate. Unsupported answers will receive no marks. It is the explanation that is important.

A6-1. An economy with a recessionary gap will never return to long run equilibrium without policy intervention.

A6-2. In a closed economy, investment will equal the sum of private saving and government saving.

A6-3. An increase in private saving for a closed economy implies lower consumption in long-run equilibrium and also leads to lower GDP growth.

A6-4. You have two Canadian dimes. One is from 1962 and contains 25 cents worth of silver; the other is from 2013 and contains no silver. You would clearly use the later coin when paying for a coffee rather than the earlier one.
