Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the final value of all the goods & services produced in an economy during a particular period of time. We can calculate GDP by adding Consumption, Investment, Government spending, Exports & deducting Imports from the sum.
Total GDP=Consumption+Investment+Government Spending+Exports-Imports
Given,
Consumption=11.2
Investment=2.8
Government spending=3.1
Exports=2.4
Imports=2.3
Total GDP=11.2+2.8+3.1+2.4-2.3=17.2 trillion dollars.
So, total GDP for this economy is 17.2 trillion dollars.
