Answer: $22,100

Explanation:

Consumption

This is the amount spent by people on goods and services:

= 200 people * 60

= $12,000

Investment:

Total spent on new equipment: $900

Government spending:

This is derived from the taxes imposed on the country:

= 8% * 75 per worker * 200 workers

= $1,200

Exports = $1,300

Imports:

= 7 * 200 workers

= $1,400

GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government spending + Exports - Imports

= 12,000 + 900 + 1,200 + 1,300 - 1,400

= $22,100
