The Mathematical Formula & Variables
GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + (Exports - Imports)
Step-by-Step Worked Example
Scenario: C = $19.5T, I = $4.8T, G = $4.9T, Exports = $3.1T, Imports = $4.05T.
- Net Exports = $3.1T - $4.05T = -$0.95T (Trade Deficit).
- GDP = 19.5 + 4.8 + 4.9 - 0.95 = $28.25 Trillion.
Result: $28.25 Trillion GDP
