Question

Last year, a small nation with abundant forests cut down $200 worth of trees. $100 worth of trees was then turned into $150 worth of lumber. $100 worth of that lumber was used to produce $250 worth of bookshelves. Assuming the country produces no other outputs, and there are no other inputs used in the production of trees, lumber, and bookshelves, what is this nation's GDP

Answer 1

$400

Step-by-step explanation:

Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year

GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export

Net export = exports – imports

Inventory grew by (200 - 100) $100

$50 of value was created

total gdp = $100 + $250 + 50 = $400
