Question

GDP includes a. final goods and inventories of imported intermediate goods. b. intermediate and final goods to count all goods and services produced. c. only final goods to avoid double counting when including intermediate goods. d. Cars produced by Ford in Mexico

Answer 1

Answer: c. only final goods to avoid double counting when including intermediate goods

Explanation:

The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is an economic measure that aims to quantify the strength of an economy by checking it's Economic Activity.

When Calculating GDP, the FINAL value of goods and services produced WITHIN a country are the only amounts included to avoid Double Counting of products.

For example, if in making a television, the company making the TV bought electrical parts for $100 and the LED screen for $50 with labour costs of $50 and then sold it to a store for $300 that then sells the Television at $500, $500 is the amount that is included in GDP calculation. None of those other figures will be added again because they are already implicitly included in the final $500.
