Giving the following information:

Consumption 4,500

Gross Investment 1,200

Depreciation 655

Profits 655

Exports 500

Compensation of Employees 5240

Government Purchases 900

Direct Taxes 750

Saving 546

Imports 550

A) GDP=C+I+G+/-NX

GDP = 4,500 + 1,200 + 900 + 500 - 550 = 6,550

B) GDP Formula = Total National Income + Sales Taxes + Depreciation + Net Foreign Factor Income

GDP = 655 + 750 + 655 + 5,240 = 7,300

Total national income = Sum of rent, salaries, profit.

Sales Taxes = Tax imposed by a government on sales of goods and services.

Depreciation = the decrease in the value of an asset.

Net Foreign Factor Income = Income earn by a foreign factor like the amount of foreign company or foreign person earn from the country and it is also the difference between a country citizen and country earn.
