Explanation / Answer

26.

The gross domestic product is the current market value of final goods and services produced by a country in a year within a country's borders.

the correct option is (e)

27.

Intermediate goods and services are inputs used in the production of final goods and services.

the correct option is (c)

28.

GDP, in this case, is adding all the values as it is a vertically integrated production where the first raw material is sold to manufacturer then manufacturer to dealer and finally dealer sells to a retailer. All of them accrues income to the factors of production hence will be summed up to calculate GDP.

the correct option is (e)

29.

Importance of not including intermediate goods implies one avoids double counting of the value of the good.

the correct option is (d)

30.

GDP as expenditure can be shown using the expenditure method as

GDP= C+I+G+NX

where NX=X-M

NX is net exports and equals exports minus imports. Hence when imports decrease then GDP rises.

the correct option is (a)
