    Answer: $320

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    GDP = $10,000

    Consumption = $9,800

    Investment = $125

    Goods exported = $255

    Goods imported = $500

    Net exports = Exports - Imports

    = $255 - $500

    = - ($245)

    GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + Net exports

    $10,000 = $9,800 + $125 + Government Spending + (-$245)

    Government Spending = $10,000 - $9,800 - $125 + $245

    = $320
