Respuesta :

Answer:

d. $390 million merits and $110 million merits

Explanation:

The computation of the consumption and the government expenditure is shown below:

As we know that

Budget Surplus = Taxes - government expenditure

$40  = $150 - government expenditure

So, the government expenditure is $110 million

In addition,

Gross domestic product = Consumption + investment + government expenditure + net exports

$600  = Consumption + $100 + $110  + $0

So, the consumption is

= $600  - $100  - $110

= $390 million

We simply applied the above formulas in order to find out the consumption and government expenditure
