    Explained below.

    Explanation:

    Exhaustive expenditures are for products that directly absorb resources and are part of domestic output - the "exhaust" or use resources. Nonexhaustive expenditures do not undeviatingly consume resources either generate output, they simply transfer ownership concerning financial resources.

    Government purchases include building bridges, buying tanks and missiles, and hiring troops and teachers. Transfer payments include welfare checks, social security payments, and subsidies to large corporations.
