Respuesta :

Answer:

$21.50

Explanation:

The gross domestic product includes the total production of  finished and legal goods and services in a country (usually during a one year period).

When the farmer sold the 5 pounds of pecans, he was selling intermediate goods (not included in the  GDP). Only Smith's Fresh Pecans are included in the GDP (final goods):

(3 pounds x $4.50) + $8 = $13.50 + $8 = $21.50
