6. Limitations of GDP Although GDP is a reasonably good measure of a nation's output, it does not necessarily include all transactions and production for that nation. Which of the following scenarios are either not accounted for or measured inaccurately by either the income or the expenditure methods of calculating GDP for the United States? Check all that apply. The quality of goods available to consumers O The loss of enjoyment people incur when scenic land is converted to commercial use The value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the government O Federal government paychecks to soldiers When a U.S. company purchases and imports automotive parts from Canada to use to build cars within the United States, this purchase increases the net exports by the same amount. Therefore, the purchase component of GDP while also in US GDP. automotive parts from Canada causes
