1. Pete grows wheat and sells it to Roger for $2. Then Roger turns it into flour and sells it to John for $3. John takes the flour and also some sugar which he bought for $1 and eggs that he bought for $1.50 and bakes a cake which he sells to Keith for $10. Keith eats the cake and then drives his car into a swimming pool for some reason. How much is added to nominal GDP here?
2. Consider an economy that produces the following goods.
Fish quantity: 343
Fish price: 19
Coconut quantity: 497
Coconut price: 9
