The equation that breaks GDP down by the four sources of aggregate spending is: GDP = C + I + G + X + IM. GDP = C + I + G + X - IM. GDP = C + I + G - X - IM. GDP = C - I - G - X + IM.

GDP = C + I + G + X - IM

Figure: Circular-Flow Model Reference: Ref 7-1 (Figure: Circular-Flow Model) Look at the figure Circular-Flow Model. If the circular-flow model is in equilibrium (the sum of money flowing into each box is equal to the sum of the money flowing out of it) and there is an increase in government spending, which of the following is likely to happen? an increase in the nominal GDP an increase in the unemployment rate a decrease in the inflation rate a decrease in the real GDP

an increase in the nominal GDP

Economists frequently use GDP per capita to reflect: the impact of prices on GDP. both people who are employed and those who are unemployed. differences in living standards across countries. people who are employed.

differences in living standards across countries.

The circular-flow diagram illustrates all of the following in the U.S. economy EXCEPT: flows of money. growing income inequality. flows of goods and services. the purchase and sale of factors of production.

The dollar value of final goods and services only is counted in GDP because: if we counted the value of all goods, we would count inputs, like the value of steel in a new automobile, more than once. intermediate goods reduce GDP. only final goods and services matter for the economy. we can measure only the value of final goods and services, not the value of inputs.
