Answer 1

Answer:

$500

The computation is shown below:

Data provided in the question

Sale value of five year old car to used car = $3,000

Now in the same year, the resales value to Ima Goner = $3,500

So, the contribution made in the GDP for the year 2005 is

= Resales value to Ima Goner - Sale value of five year old car to used car

= $3,500 - $3,000

= $500
