In the calculation of gross domestic product (GDP), only final goods and services that are sold to consumers are included. Intermediate goods, like chemicals, lumber, and steel that are sold to businesses for production, are not included because their value is already captured in the final product.

The two correct answers that would be included in the calculation of GDP are:

  1. Notebooks sold to students.
  2. French fries sold to customers at a restaurant.
