Answer 1

Answer:

GDP =  280 billion

Net investment = 10 billion

National income = 270 billion

Explanation:

given data

Consumption = 200

Depreciation = 20

Retained earnings = 12

Gross investment = 30

Imports = 50

Exports = 40

Net foreign factor income = 10

Government purchases = 60

solution

we get here GDP that is express as

GDP = Consumption + Gross investment + Government purchases + Net exports     ...................1

Net exports  = ( Exports - Imports)

so put here value

GDP = 200 + 30 + 60 + 40 - 50

GDP =  280 billion

and

Net investment will be as

Net investment = Gross investment - Depreciation    ...............2

Net investment = 30 -20

Net investment = 10 billion

and

National income = GDP - Depreciation + Net foreign factor income    ............3

National income = 280 - 20 + 10  

National income = 270 billion
