By summing the values added at each stage in the production of some good, we obtain:
**the price of that good.**
This is because the price of a good reflects the total value added at each stage of its production process. It combines the individual contributions from all producers and inputs involved in making the product.
However, while the price does reflect the total income and costs associated with the production, the primary purpose of summing the values added is most directly connected to determining the final price of the good itself.
The statement "all of the above" could also be interpreted as correct in a more general sense, as understanding these relationships does connect to income and costs; however, the most straightforward answer remains focused on the price.
