Question

Consider two cars manufactured by Chevrolet in 2014. During 2014, Chevrolet sells one of the two cars to Emily for $20,000. Later in the same year, Emily sells the car to Jim for $18,000. The second automobile, with a market value of $19,000, is unsold at the end of 2014 and it remains in Chevrolet’s inventory. The transactions just described contribute how much to GDP for 2014?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: $39,000

Explanation:

The gross domestic products includes all the production of final and legal goods or services. These final products can be sold or held in inventory.

In this case, the GDP should include the $20,000 car sold to Emily and the $19,000 that correspond to the car held on finished inventory.
