You buy a Rs 40,000 BMW in Pakistan that was made entirely in Germany. How is this purchase recorded in Pakistan’s GDP accounts?

Correct answer A. Consumption increases by Rs 40,000 and net exports decrease by Rs 40,000

Explanation

The car counts as consumer spending, but because it is imported it is also subtracted through net exports, so Pakistan’s GDP is unchanged overall.
