c. Gross Investment = Sum of investment and inventories

=Non-residential fixed investment +  Residential fixed investment + Change in private inventories

= $2336.2 billion + $645.4 billion + $111.9 billion

= $3093.5 billion

d. Nominal GDP = C + I + G + (X-M)

= $12332.2 billion + $3093.5 billion + $3218.9 billion + ($2264.9 billion - $2789 billion)

= $18120.5 billion
