Answer:

$3 billion

Step-by-step explanation:

Gross domestic product is the sum of all final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year.

Savings is equals to investment.

Savings is the sum of private and public savings

Public savings = taxes - transfer payment - Government Spending

$4 billion - $3 billion - $2billion = ($1 )billion

Private saving = $4 billion

Savings = $4 billion - $1 billion = $3 billion

Savings is equal to investment, so investment would be $3 billion

I hope my answer helps you
