Answer:
GDP is likely to remain same as a result of this conversion.
Explanation:
GDP is the total value of goods & services, produced by an economy, during a given year.
It can be calculated by 2 methods
- By Expenditure method : GDP = Private Final Capital Expenditure + Govt. Final Consumption Expenditure + Gross Domestic Capital Formation + Net Exports
- By Income method : NDP = Compensation of Employees + Operating Surplus (Rent + Profit + Income) + Mixed Income
Given case - Converting a rented apartment into a resident owned condominium , with value of housing services = rent formerly paid :
