In the production method, which commodity is counted to calculate the gross national product?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a ultimate (final)
  2. b secondary
  3. c primary
  4. d pre-primary
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: a ultimate (final)

The book's rule: only the ultimate commodity is counted, since its price already includes the earlier stages.

Why the other options are wrong

  • b secondary: Secondary goods are already inside the price of the final good, so they are not counted again.
  • c primary: The price of the primary good is also inside the final good; counting it again gives a wrong total.
  • d pre-primary: The book has no such kind; only the final good is counted.
