Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is: C) Emily pays $500 to fix the front end of her car damaged in a recent accident.

Explanation:

The formula for calculating GDP is:

               GDP = C + I + G + (X – M)

  • C: consumption of new, finished and legal products or services
  • I: investment
  • G: government
  • X: exports
  • M: imports

The $500 Emily paid to fix the front end of her car fits in the Consumption category (C) since it was a new, legal and finished service.
