The following are national income account data for a hypothetical economy in billions of dollars: government purchases ($1,050), personal consumption expenditures ($4,800), imports ($370), exports ($240), and gross private domestic investment ($1,130). Personal consumption expenditures are approximate what percentage of this economy?

Respuesta :

Answer:

70%

Explanation:

Given that

Government purchases ($1,050)

Personal consumption expenditures ($4,800)

Imports ($370)

Exports ($240)

Gross private domestic investment ($1,130)\

As we know that

GDP = Personal consumption expenditure + Government purchases + Gross private domestic investment + Exports - Imports

= $4,800 + $1,050 + $1,130 + $240 - $370

= $6,850 billion

Now the percentage is

= $4,800 ÷ $6,850 × 100

= 70%
