Solution

To calculate the consumption in Scandia's economy per worker, we need to understand how much of their disposable income they are actually spending.

Step 1: Calculate the savings Savings = Disposable income * Savings rate Savings = 50030500 * 30% = 150

Step 2: Calculate the consumption Consumption = Disposable income - Savings Consumption = 500500 - 150 = $350

So, the consumption in Scandia's economy per worker is $350.
