Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The U.S. national income accounts have switched to calling government purchases "government consumption expenditure and gross investment." This means that it includes both purchases for government consumption (such as salaries for government employees) and purchases for gross investment (such as infrastructure projects). Option A includes transfer payments, which are not considered government purchases. Option B refers only to investment by government, leaving out government consumption expenditure. Option D only includes wages, salaries, and investment expenditure, but it does not cover all types of government purchases.
