Expert Solution
Step 1

GDP: It refers to the goods and services which can be produced in an economy during a particular period. The GDP also shows the total level of income of an economy.  

Step 2

In a closed economy,

Real GDP = Consumption spending + Investment spending + Government spending

Real GDP = $5166 billion

Consumption spending = $3666 billion

Government spending = $658 billion

$5166 billion = $3666 billion + Investment spending + $658 billion

Investment spending = (5166 - 3666 - 658) = $842 billion
