Which of the following statements about GDP is FALSE?

Here is the answer to your question:

Question 10:
Let's evaluate each statement:

• A. GDP excludes intermediate goods and services: This statement is true. GDP only counts the value of final goods and services to avoid double-counting.
• B. GDP stands for gross domestic product: This statement is true. GDP is the acronym for Gross Domestic Product.
• C. GDP equals wages plus trading profits: This statement is false. While wages and profits are components of GDP when calculated using the income approach, GDP includes more than just these two categories. The income approach typically sums compensation of employees, proprietors' income, rental income, corporate profits, and net interest, along with adjustments for indirect business taxes and depreciation.
• D. GDP measures the value of all the goods and services produced in the economy: This statement is generally true, specifically referring to final goods and services produced within a country's borders over a specific period.

Therefore, the false statement is C.

The correct option is C.

• C. GDP equals wages plus trading profits
