UK GDP would exclude which of the following ?

Correct answer: C. Copper purchased by tap manufacturer Bristan

  • A. Lawyer services purchased by a home buyer
  • B. The purchase of a new Nissan produced in Sunderland
  • C. Copper purchased by tap manufacturer Bristan
  • D. A new art gallery purchased by the city of Newcastle
  • E. Lawn care services purchased by a home owner.

Explanation

Copper bought by Bristan is an intermediate input, so counting its value separately would double-count its contribution when the final tap is sold. The other options represent final goods or services produced within the UK economy.
