    The correct option is D, expenditure on consumption is $81000

    Explanation:

    The formula for Gross Domestic Product is given below:

    Y=G+I+C + (X-M)

    G is Government expenditure

    I is Investment

    C is Consumption Expenditure

    X is exports

    M is imports

    By slotting the variables into the formula, we have:

    $120000=$35000+$16000+C + ($10000-$22000)

    $120000=$35000+$16000+C-$12000

    C=$120000-$35000-$16000+$12000

    C=$810000

    It is crystal clear that the unknown, expenditure on consumption is $81000

    Note that X-M could also be called net exports and can either be a negative or positive value depending on whether export is higher or import
