GDP=YGDP=Y

Y=C+I+G+(XM)+TP+NfpY=C+I+G+(X-M)+TP+Nfp

C=consumptionC= consumption

I=investmentI=investment

G=Government expenditureG=Government\ expenditure

XM=Net ExportsX-M=Net\ Exports

TP=Transfer PaymentTP= Transfer\ Payment

Nfp=Net Factor paymentNfp=Net\ Factor\ payment


7500=C+1300+1200+(9501050)+1050+207500=C+1300+1200+(950-1050)+1050+20
