Why is there a discrepancy?

A. Pizzas were “buy one, get one free”

B. Guide por counted dough waiting for the sauce and toppings and pizzas in the oven

C. Only pizzas were eaten in the restaurant count towards GDP

D. 2000 pizzas were sold at half price

Explain

Answer 1

Answer: B

GDP is the count of all finished goods and final products during a period. The preparation of pizzas in the oven is not finished yet; therefore, it should not be considered as GDP; the owner did so and created discrepancy.
