Answer:

$100,000 is accounted in first quarter GDP as change in inventory

Explanation:

Changes in inventory is accounted in the current period GDP as it is an investment. It is a part of gross private investment of GDP. Changes in inventory happens when closing inventory differs from opening inventory.

When sales are more than goods produced, it indicates that the company has purchased its own inventory for investment purpose.

In this case $100,000 inventory in quarter 1 would be included in quarter 1 GDP as part of private investment.

Andrej [43]

Incomplete question. However, I answered from a general research perspective.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>What role do sources play in validating an argument?</em>

We have sources that are considered <em>credible sources</em> (like Encyclopedia, Journal Magazine, Newspaper, etc) and others that are considered <em>incredible sources </em>(general social media post). Knowing the kind of source could thus help validate an argument.

Relying on the internet to provide complete and truthful information is difficult considering the amount of fake news available today.
