Lilliput is a country that has closed borders and does not import or export any goods or services; hence, they do not worry about trade with other countries. Total spending for the federal government of Lilliput for the last fiscal year was $ 1.06 billion. The country collected $ 1.05 billion in taxes during this same fiscal year. Assume government transfers were zero. Based on this information, what is Lilliput's budget balance

The formula to calculate the Budget Balance is

Government Income - Government Expenditure

in this case

$1.05 billion - $1.06 billion = - 0.01 billion or - $100 million

Explanation:

A budget balance is reached when a government expenditures are equal to it's income.

In this case, since the country's only source of income it is slightly less than than what is required to run the government, it has a budget deficient.

Since the country does not export or trade with outside countries, the government will need to take out a loan to make up for this deficient.
