Problems #28
Last year, a small nation with abundant forests cut down $200 worth of trees. It then turned $100 worth of trees into $150 worth of lumber. It used $100 worth of that lumber to produce $250 worth of bookshelves.
Assuming the country produces no other outputs, and there are no other inputs used in producing trees, lumber, and bookshelves, what is this nation’s GDP? In other words, what is the value of the final goods the nation produced including trees, lumber and bookshelves? A couple of a paragraph is right for each of the answers. If you need to go a little over that is fine. You should end up with about two pages of work. If you find you are way under, please go back and recheck some of your answers to see if you need to elaborate a bit more.
