Explanation / Answer

(1) (b)

Tariff is an import tax imposed on the imported goods.

(2) (c)

Currently, GDP includes the value of broccoli Thomas sells, but not the value of Marijuana which is an illegal good. If Jennifer marries Thomas, he will stop selling the broccoli, which will decrease the value of GDP. If she marries Darin, there will be no effect on GDP because value of the good sold by Darin before marriage was anyway excluded from GDP.

(3) (b)

GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government purchase + Export - Imports, therefore

Consumption ($) = GDP - Investment - Government purchases - Exports + Imports

= 2000 - 400 - 300 - 200 + 130

= 1230
