1.
The difference between the selling price and the production cost of a product is called the value added of a product..
Therefore, the farmer's value added is,
($1 - $0)
= $1.
The cost of production of a bushel of wheat is assumed as $0.
The selling price of a bushel of wheat is $1.
Similarly, the value added by miller is ($3 - $1)
= $2.
As the miller buys wheat at $1 from the farmer, it will become the cost of flour production. It was sold to a baker at $3. This is the selling price.
Similarly, the value added by baker is ($6 - $3)
= $3.
As the baker buys flour at $3 from the miller, it will become the cost of bread production. The selling price to an engineer is $6.
Similarly, the value added by engineer is $0
As the engineer does not add value to the bread. He uses it for consumption.
2.
Therefore,
The contribution of the bread to the GDP = value added by farmer+ value added by miller + value added by baker+ value added by an engineer.
The contribution of the bread to the GDP = $1 + $2 + $3 + $0
The contribution of the bread to the GDP = $6.
