A country recently had a GDP of $1000 billion. Its consumption expenditures were $650 billion, its government spent $250 billion, and it had domestic investment of $150 billion. What was the value of this country's net capital outflow? Explain how you found your answer
saving = GDP - consumption - government expenditures
saving = $1,000 billion - $650 billion - $250 billion = $100 billion
saving = investment + net capital outflow
$100 billion = $150 billion + net capital outflow
-$50 billion = net capital outflow
