Problem
• In the fictional country of Terundia the local flower shop decides to expand its business and start home deliveries. To this end, at the start of 2019 it purchases a mini-truck from a foreign manufacturer for a value of $20,000. They also purchase extra seeds from the local shop for $1,500 and fertilizer from a foreign distributor for $750. By the end of 2019 the residents of Terundia had bought additional flowers worth $7,200 and the residents of a neighboring country had bought flowers for a value of $10,300. By how much do the different expenditure components of GDP (Consumption (C), Investment (I), Government Expenditures (G), Exports (X) and Imports (M) increase in 2019 as a consequence of the flower shop expansion?
