Depreciation 655

Profits 655

Exports 500

Compensation of Employees 5240

Government Purchases 900

Direct Taxes 750

A) GDP=C+I+G+/-NX

GDP= 4,500 + 1,200 + 900 + 500 - 550= 6,550

B) GDP Formula = Total National Income + Sales Taxes + Depreciation + Net Foreign Factor Income

GDP= 655 + 750 + 655 + 5,240= 7,300
