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
