Explanation / Answer

Answer: 1) Net Export of Goods and Services = $ -499.4

   2) Gross Domestic Product= $ 10960.8

Explanation:

The equation for calculating GDP under expenditure method can be expressed as

Y = C + I + G + (X - M)

where, C = Consumption Expenditure   

I = Investment Expenditure   

G = Government Expenditure   

X - M = Export - Import

In our case,

C = $ 7703.6

I = $ 1664.1

G = $ 2902.5

   X = $ 1040.8

   M = $ 1540.2

Net Exports of Goods and Services = X - M

= 1040.8 - 1540.2

= -499.4

Gross Domestic Product = C+I+G+(X-M)

= 7703.6 + 1664.1 + 2092.5 +(-499.4)

   = 10960.8
