Can anyone please explain it to me!?Or give me some hints????

Consumption increases the GDP; transfer payments such as Social Security checks do not.
I am assuming that the sport jacket was purchsed in the USA. The fact that the sport jacket is Italian does not mean that the purchase does not contribute to the US GDP. It will affect the trade deficit
