Explanation:

Question 7

In economics (a subfield of Business), investment (I) in the GDP calculation refers to spending on capital goods that are used to produce other goods or services. Spending on new factories and machinery is investment as it's for production. Spending on stocks/bonds is financial investment (not part of GDP's I), consumer goods (even durable) are consumption, and art purchases are typically consumption or investment in a non - GDP - I sense.

For most high - income countries, GDP generally shows a long - term trend of gradual growth. It's not usually stable (as economies grow over time), it doesn't decline slightly (in the long run for high - income, stable economies), and "sharply risen" is not typical as growth is more gradual due to factors like technological progress, population growth (to an extent), and capital accumulation over time.

Answer:

the amount spent on new factories and machinery.
