Answer to Question 1

The nation's GDP equals the sum of consumption expenditure, investment, government purchases of goods and services, and net exports of goods and services, where net exports of goods and services equals of goods and services exports minus imports of goods and services. So, GDP = 15 million + 2 million + 1 million + 1 million - 1.5 million = 17.5 million.
