Consumption spending must be... - ANS-11.5 trillion
18= C+2.5+4.5+(-.5)
solve for C
GDP formula - ANS-Y = C + I + G + NX
C= sum of consumer spending
I= sum of total investments
G= sum of government spending
NX= sum of nations total exports
intermediate goods - ANS-goods used in the production of final goods
