Explanation:

GDP formula :

GDP = consumption+ residential investment + change in business inventory+ business structure and equipment investment +government purchases of goods and services+ R$D expenditure+ export - import

Consumption 11,500

Residential investment 500

Change in business inventories -100

Business structures and equipment investment 1,500

Government purchases of goods and services 3,200

R&D expenditures 200

Corporate profits 1,500

Taxes on production and imports 2,000

GDP= 11500+500-100+1500+3200+200+1500-2000

= 16300

National income= GDP - depreciation

= 16300-2000
