A number of economists contend that official measures of Canadian gross private investment expenditures are understated.
For instance, household spending on education, such as college tuition expenditures, is counted as consumption. Some economists suggest that these expenditures, which amount to 6 percent of GDP, should be counted as investment instead.
investment if this suggestion was adopted?
Based on this 6 percent estimate and the estimated 2020 Q2 GDP being $1,820,369 million, how many millions of dollars would shift from consumption.
Smillion would shift from consumption to investment if this suggestion was adopted. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.)
Suppose Country A has a NNP of $480 billion. Income receipts from the rest of the world are $26 billion, income payments to the rest of the world are $10 billion, and depreciation is $45 billion.

Consider a macroeconomy where the current population is 0.8 million people. Gross domestic private investment is constant $2000 million while consumer expenditure is described by the equation: C = 540+ 0.8DI. The
government is fairly active, with a total expenditure of $3500 million and net taxes of $2550 million. Further investigation of the macroeconomy reveals that imports are constant at $3000 million while exports are constant at $2000
million. Currently, the overall price level (GDP deflator) is 118 and the potental GDP level is $13.5 billion.
(Question 1 of 7)
What is the current equilibrium level of real GDP? (report your answer at 2 decimal places and in millions of dollars)
