ABC Computer Company has a $25,000,000 factory in Kanata. During the current year, ABC builds $3,200.000 worth of computer components. ABC's costs are labour, $1,600,000; interest on debt, $100,000; and taxes, $50,000. ABC sells all its output to XYZ Supercomputer. Using ABC's components, XYZ builds four supercomputers at a cost of $1,150,000 each ($800,000 worth of components, $150,000 in labour costs, and $200,000 in taxes per computer) XYZ has a $40,000,000 factory. XYZ sells three of the supercomputers for $1,500,000 each; at year's end, It has not sold the fourth. The unsold computer is carried on XYZ's books as a $1,150,000 increas- in inventory. Assume that ABC and XYZ are incorporated companies, and that XYZ sells to companies. a. Calculate the contributions to GDP of these transactions, showing that al three approaches give the same answer.
