A nation's capital stock was valued at $300 billion at the start of the year and $350 billion at the end. Consumption of private fixed capital in the year was $25 billion. Assuming stable prices, gross investment was?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Gross investment will be equal to $175 billion

Explanation:

We have given nation's capital stock at the start = $200 billion

And capital stock at the end = $350 billion

Consumption of private fixed capital in the year = $25 billion

We have to find the gross investment

Gross investment is equal to

Gross investment =  Capital stock at the end of the year + consumption of private fixed capital - Capital stock at the starting of the year

= $350+$25-$200 = $175

So gross investment will be equal to $175 billion
