How much is the total spending on all final goods and services produced,

A) $62,000

C) $72,000

B) $70,000

D) $82,000

Answer 1

(1) The after-tax income of the consumers is

The chili farm pays $15,000 to its workers, and the chili sauce factory pays $10,000 to its workers.

The government spends $12,000 to hire consumers to operate the government.

The government collects $2,000 of tax from consumers So the after tax income of consumers is =$15000+$10000+$12000-$2000

=$35000

(2)  the expenditure on consumption is =

$20,000 of chilies and  $50,000 chili sauce are bought by consumers

So the total expenditure is $70000.

(3) The total spending on all final goods and services produced is=

$20,000 of chilies and chili sauce  $50,000 are bought by consumers,   government spends $12,000 to hire consumers to operate the government so the total expenditure is

$82000
