Refer to Table 6.2. Personal consumption expenditures in billions of dollars are

A. 1,400

B. 1,100

C. 900

D. 1,600



Answer :

To find the total personal consumption expenditures, we need to sum all the provided components from the table and the listed personal consumption expenditures. Let's go through the components step-by-step:

1. Federal purchases of goods: 400 billion dollars.
2. Services: 200 billion dollars.
3. Imports: 200 billion dollars.
4. Change in business inventories: 20 billion dollars.
5. Durable goods: 300 billion dollars.
6. Nondurable goods: 400 billion dollars.
7. Exports: 100 billion dollars.
8. Residential investment: 400 billion dollars.
9. State and local purchases: 300 billion dollars.
10. Nonresidential investment: 600 billion dollars.

Now, add all these components:

[tex]\[ 400 + 200 + 200 + 20 + 300 + 400 + 100 + 400 + 300 + 600 \][/tex]

This summation results in:

[tex]\[ 2920 \][/tex]

Thus, the total personal consumption expenditures, considering the given data, amount to 2920 billion dollars.
