Sagot :

Answer:

Imports =  Bottle of wines

Imports = 40 * $30 = $1,200

Exports = Spark plugs

Exports = 200 * $5 = $1,000

Net Exports = Exports - Imports

Net Exports = $1,000 - $1,200

Net Exports = -$200

Consumption = Surfboard + Wines

Consumption = $670 + $1,200

Consumption = $1,870

Government purchase = $0

Investment = $0

GDP = C + I + G + NX

GDP = $1,870 + $0 + $0 + (-$200)

GDP = $1,870 + $0 + $0 - $200

GDP = $1,670
