The answer is $150 million

Explanation:

A closed economy is also called autarky. A closed economy is an economy that trades only within its economy. There is no import and there is no export also. The economy (country) is self-sufficient.

The formula for GDP in a closed economy equals C + I + G

where C is the household/individual consumption.

I is the business or firm's investment

G is the government spending.

GDP is $600million

C is $ 250 million

G is $ 200 million

I = ($600 - $ 250 - $200) million

I = $150 million
