Transcribed Image Text:25. Did you know that Peanut butter cookies can be made with just 3 ingredients: sugar, eggs, and
peanut butter? Suppose that the Superior Nut Company imports peanuts for $3,000,000 and crushes
them into peanut butter that it sells to Carlo's Bakery for $5,000,000. Carlo's Bakery imports eggs and
sugar for $4,000,000 and uses the ingredients to make peanut butter cookies which it sells for
$15,000,000.
If you use the expenditure on final goods method to calculating GDP then the contribution to GDP here
is (expenditure on final goods) – (expenditure on imports) = $8,000,000. If you use the value added
method you calculate the value added by each company and add them together. It should give you the
same result.
What was the value added by Carlo's Bakery? (yes, it is in the millions and you have to type the Os)
