consumption- $330,000
government purchases- $200,000
exports- $110,000
investment- $150,000
imports- $60,000
population- 50 people

a. less than $10,000 per person
b. between $10,000 per person and $13,000 per person
c. between $13,000 per person and $16,000 per person
d. between $16,000 per person and $19,000 per person
e. greater than $19,000 per person
Answer :
In case of expenditure approach, GDP is the sum of Consumption(C), Investment(I), Government purchase(G) and net exports{NX, (Export - Imports)} . Therefore,
GDP = C+I+G+(NX),
GDP = 330,000+150,000+200,000+(110,000-60,000)
GDP = $680,000 + $50,000 = $730,000
GDP = $730,000
GDP per capita = GDP/Population
GDP per capita = $730,000/50 people
GDP per capita = $14,600/people
