3.The purchase of a laptop computer by an accounting firm to use in doing audits.
4.The purchase of a website design service to use for e-commerce.

Answer

• The purchase of corporate bonds in the bond market.
  Explanation:
  Aggregate investment spending includes purchase of goods in a given period of time, which are not used or consumed at present time and which are used to produce other goods, capital or services. Laptop is used to provide a service, commercial facility is used to provide a service, and finally, website design service is used for provision of a service. However, purchasing bonds does not qualify as aggregate investment spending as this is not use to produce other goods or services.
