Answer:

The value produced by doing your own laundry

The costs of overfishing and other overly intensive uses of resources

The leisure time enjoyed by households

Step-by-step explanation:

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

GDP calculated using the income approach sums up all the income earned by factors of production.

GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending + Investment spending + Government Spending + Net Export

Government spending on building is measured in the calculation of GDP as part of government spending.

Services rendered to ones self is not included in the calculation of GDP. So, the value produced by doing your own laundry is not included in GDP.

The effects of externality and pollution aren't included in the calculation luation of GDP. So, the costs of overfishing and other overly intensive uses of resources.

Enjoyment isn't added in the calculation of GDP.

Other items and activties not included in the calculation of GDP include:

A. Illegal activities

B. Transfer payment by government

C. Intermediate goods

I hope my answer helps you
