Stock of capital on January​ 1, 2009: ​$11 comma 000 billion. Stock of capital on December​ 31, 2009: ​$11 comma 750 billion.

Answer 1

750 billion

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the net investment is shown below:

= Stock of capital on December​ 31, 2009 - Stock of capital on January​ 1, 2009

= $11,750 billion - $11,000 billion

= $750 billion

We simply take the difference between the ending balance of capital stock and the beginning balance of capital stock to compute the net investment level.
