Answer: $200,000
Explanation:
Intelligence Incorporated:
Computer chips produces = 200
Selling price of each = $200
Total revenue = 200 × $200
= $40,000
Cost = $0
Value added = Total revenue - cost
= $40,000 - $0
= $40,000
Bell Computers:
Personal computers produces = 200
Selling price of each = $800
Total revenue = 200 × $800
= $160,000
Total Cost = cost of computer chips + cost of software
= 200 × $200 + 200 × $50
= $50,000
Value added = Total revenue - Total cost
= $160,000 - $50,000
= $110,000
Macrosoft:
software sold to bell computers
Selling price of each = $50
Total revenue = 200 × $50
= $10,000
Total Cost = $0
Value added = Total revenue - Total cost
= $10,000 - $0
= $10,000
PC Charlie:
Personal computers purchase = 200
Selling price of each = $1000
Total revenue = 200 × $1,000
= $200,000
Total Cost = cost of computers purchased from bell
= 200 × $800
= $160,000
Value added = Total revenue - Total cost
= $200,000 - $160,000
= $40,000
GDP by the value added method = value added by Intelligence Incorporated + value added by Bell Computers + value added by Macrosoft + value added by PC Charlie
= $40,000 + $110,000 + $10,000 + $40,000
= $200,000
The total contribution to the GDP as per the value addition method will be computed around $200,000 for producing personal computers at different stages by different firms.
How to calculate GDP contribution?
The GDP contribution refers to the number of products produced in a society or a region during the given period of time and the processes that are involved before producing finished goods.
It has been given that the Intelligence Incorporation produces 200 computer chips at a cost of $200. Bell computers produce personal computers for $800 ($50 licensing fee by Macrosoft) a piece and Charlie sells them at $1000 a piece.
So, the value added by Intelligence will be $40,000; Bell Computers add a value of $110,000 and Charlie adds a value of $40,000; and finally Macrosoft adds a value of $10,000.
Hence, the GDP contribution as per the value addition method by each of the firm will be computed as below,
[tex]\rm GDP\ Contribution(in \$)= 40000+110000+10000+40000\\\\\rm GDP\ Contribution(in \$)= \$200,000[/tex]
Hence, it has been calculated that the total GDP contribution by each of the firms starting from processing of raw materials to selling the finished goods is $200,000.
