Explanation:
a) The equation for finding the GDP is presented in the following equation;
GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + Net exports
That is;
GDP = C + I + G + (X - IM)
Therefore, the GDP = 1,000 + 400 + 300 - 100 = 1,600
Hence the nominal GDP in 2018 = $1,600,000,000
b) Here we have the income approach to GDP is premised on the fact that the economy expenditures should balance the income generated by the economic production of goods and services within the economy.

The real GDP = $1,000,000,000
