The investment component of GDP refers to the spending on capital goods, such as machinery, equipment, and buildings, that are used to produce goods and services in the future. It does not include purchases of finished goods or savings account deposits. Therefore, the correct answer is:
The market value of new factories built this year.
To determine this, you need to identify investments made in fixed assets, such as the construction of new factories. By looking at the data or records of new construction projects or reports on investment in fixed assets, you can find the market value of new factories built in the current year. This information would be counted in the investment component of GDP.
