Problem 3: Different GDP Techniques Consider the following mini-economy composed of two firms (Firm 1 and Firm 2). Firm 1 is a farm and grows $4,000 of Wheat. Firm 1 keeps $1,000 of wheat in a silo to sell next year. Firm 1 then sells its remaining $3,000 of wheat directly to Firm 2. Firm 1 uses the $3,000 it receives from Firm 2 to pay $2,000 to its workers, $200 on interest payments in outstanding debts, and $800 in taxes. Firm 2 is a bakery and uses the $3,000 of wheat that it purchases to bake bread and sell it. Firm 2 produces $7,000 of bread, selling $2,000 to the Government and selling $5,000 to private consumers. Firm 2 pays its workers $1,000, pays $1,000 in taxes, and the owner keeps the rest of the money remaining as profits. 13. Calculate GDP for this mini-economy using the value-added approach. What is the contribution of each firm to this total GDP? 14. Calculate GDP for this mini-economy using the expenditure approach. What is the contribution of each firm to this total…
