1)

Answer is A. 1 Crepe per Sausage.

Because after specialization France will make 20 Crepes and Germany will make 36 Sausage.

And France gaves 16 Crepe to Germany and Germany gave 16 Sausage to France.

So Trade takes place for Crepe for 1 Sausage.

Hi,

Hope you are doing well!

Question:

Answer:

1. Consumption:

Clothing purchase = $1.0 trillion

French wine consume in the US. = 0.6 trillion

Total consumption = 1 + 0.6 = $1.6 trillion

Consumption is consisting of private (household final consumption expenditure) in the economy.

2. Investment:

Increase in inventories = $0.2 trillion

New factories built = $1.1 trillion

Total Investment = 1.1 + 0.2 = $1.3 trillion

Investment refers to the amount invested in purchase or construction of new capital goods.

3. Government:

Spending on public education = $1.5 trillion

4. Exports:

$0.5 trillion

5. Imports:

Not available

6. GDP:

It is the monetary value of the the finished goods and services produced during a period within the country.

GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government spending + Net export (export -import).

= $1.6 trillion + $1.3 trillion + $1.5 trillion + $0.5 trillion = $4.9 trillion

7. Total income:

Total Income = Wages + Corporate profit + Rent + Employee benefits

= $4.5 + 0.6 + 0.4 + 0.4 = $5.9 trillion
