The country’s GDP for the year is $95 billion.

In economics, the gross domestic product (GDP) refers to measurement of the final value of product and service produce inside the country boundary in specific period of time.

To calculate the GDP in this table, we will use the data given.

Personal consumption expenditures = 60 billion

Purchases of stocks and bonds = 30 billion

Net exports = - 10 billion

Government purchases = 20 billion'

Sales of secondhand items = 8 billion

Gross investment = 25 billion

The gross domestic product:

= Consumption + Investment +Government Expenditure + Net Export

= (60 + 25 + 20 -10) billion

= $95 billion

Therefore, the country’s GDP for the year is $95 billion.

The full question is:
