Answer:

B

C

Explanation:

Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year

GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export

Net export = exports – imports  

Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:  

1. services rendered to oneself

2. Activities not reported to the government  

3. illegal activities

4. sale or purchase of used products

5. sale or purchase of intermediate products

Only goods produced in a country would be included in the GDP. for this reason, the calculator would not be included in GDP
