What does the term 'Gross Investment' mean while denoting a nation's economy ?

  • A.Gross Investment = Net Investment + Depreciation
  • B.Gross Investment = Net Investment - Depreciation
  • C.Gross Investment = Depreciation - Net Investment
  • D.Gross Investment = Depreciation + Savings

Answer: A

Gross Investment = Net Investment + Depreciation.

Gross investment is the total spending on new capital goods in a period. Part of it only replaces capital worn out during the period, which is depreciation (consumption of fixed capital); the rest adds to the capital stock and is net investment. So gross investment is net investment plus depreciation.

Option B subtracts depreciation, which gives a figure below net investment. Option C reverses the relationship, and option D adds savings, a different concept, to depreciation.
