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. Unemployment benefits: $35 billion
  2. National defence: $100 billion
  3. Civil services: $20 billion
  4. Public infrastructure: $60 billion

Now, add all these expenditures together:

35billion+35 billion + 100 billion + 20billion+20 billion + 60 billion = $215 billion

So, the total consumption expenditure of the government is $215 billion.
