Requried:
What is the value of total gross investment?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$3,521.30

Explanation:

The computation of value of total gross investment is shown below:-

Total gross investment = Business fixed investment + Residential fixed investment + Inventories

= $2,850.0 + $578.0 + $93.3

= $3,521.30

Therefore for computing the total gross investment we simply applied the above formula and ignore all other values as they are not relevant.
