Solution

To calculate the total consumption expenditure of the government, you simply need to add up all the individual expenditures.

Here's how you do it:

  1. Start with the expenditure on public infrastructure: $30 billion.
  2. Add the expenditure on national defence: 30billion+30 billion + 115 billion = $145 billion.
  3. Add the expenditure on unemployment benefits: 145billion+145 billion + 20 billion = $165 billion.
  4. Finally, add the expenditure on civil services: 165billion+165 billion + 70 billion = $235 billion.

So, the total consumption expenditure of the government is $235 billion.
