Answer 1

Question 18

GDP of a year constitutes the market value of final goods and services produced in the economy in that year.

In the given case, final good produced is computer.

Total computers produced = 1,000,000 computers

Market price of each computer = $2,000

Calculate the value of GDP -

GDP = Total computers produced * Market price

GDP = 1,000,000 * $2,000 = $2,000,000,000 or $2 billion

The value of GDP is $2 billion.

Hence, the correct answer is the option (D).

Question 19

GDP can be measured through three different approaches.

These are as follows 0

1. Product approach or Value added approach

2. Income approach

3. Expenditure approach

Thus, three equivalent ways to measure GDP are total production, total income, and total expenditure.

Hence, the correct answer is the option (D).
