Answer 1

Answer:

$2.0 billion

Explanation:

The Gross Domestic Product is the monetary value of all goods and services that is produced within the boundary of a country in a specific time.

The formula for GDP is

GDP= consumption + government spending + investment + (export - import)

200,000 are sold to consumers

300,000 are sold to businesses

300,000 are sold to the government

100,000 are sold abroad (exported)

100,000 is kept as inventory

GDP= {200,000 + 300,000+ 300,000+ 100,000+ (100,000- 0)}* $2,000

GDP= 1,000,000*2000

GDP= $2 billion
