Identifying Investment Components in a Scenario
A car company produces 10,000 cars valued at $20,000 each during a year. It sells 9,000 of these cars to domestic households and adds the remaining 1,000 unsold cars to its warehouse. The company also purchases new robotic assembly equipment for its factory for $10 million. In a separate transaction, a family purchases a newly constructed house for $400,000. Based on this scenario, identify the three distinct components that contribute to the 'Investment' category of national income accounts and briefly explain why each is included.
