U.S. GDP 2017 = 18.5 trillion dollars

What is the growth rate between 2017 and 2019?
Answer:-
(1) There are four components of the gross domestic product are Consumption(C), Investment(I), Government Purchases(G), and Net Exports(NX).
(2) Calculate Growth Rate:-
Growth Rate between (2018 and 2019) = (GDP – 2019) - (GDP – 2018) / (GDP – 2018) * 100
= 19.1 – 18.8 / 18.8 * 100
= 1.6
Growth Rate between (2017 and 2019) = (GDP – 2019) - (GDP – 2017) / (GDP – 2017) * 100
= 19.1 – 18.5 / 18.5 * 100
= 3.24
