Answer to Question 1

Gross investment is the total amount spent on new capital goods to increase the quantity of capital and replace the depreciated capital. Net investment is the amount spent on new capital that exceeds the value of the depreciated capital or, in other words, net investment equals gross investment minus depreciation. Net investment is equal to the change in the capital stock.
