Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

An economy produces only 1,000,000 computers valued at $2,000 each.  

200,000 are sold to consumers, 300,000 are sold to businesses, 300,000 are sold to the government, and 100,000 are sold abroad.

The GDP of a nation includes the value of final goods and services produced within the boundaries of the nation in a year. A total of 1,000,000 computers valued at $2,000 are produced in the economy.  

The GDP will be

= $1,000,000\ \times\ \ 2,000$

= 2,000,000,000 or 2 billion
