Answer 1

Answer:

GDP of Pakistan is 13.41 trillion of Rupees

Explanation:

GDP = C + I + G + Net Exports

GDP = 10.6 + 1.5 + 2.6 + (1.4 Exports - 2.69 Imports) =

Where C stands for consumption, I for investment by the businesses, G is the government spending or purchases, Net Exports is the difference between exports X and imports M.

Now:

G-Government spending or Govt. Purchases are Rs 2.60 trillions

I-Investment by the businesses are Rs 1.50 trillions

C-Consumption was Rs 10.6 trillions

Net Exports-(Exports X - Imports M) was the difference of exports Rs 1.4 trillions and imports of Rs 2.69 trillions

By putting the values we have:

GDP= 10.6 + 1.5 + 2.6 + (1.4 Exports - 2.69 Imports)= 13.41 trillion of Rupees
