- Assume that a farmer rents a 20-acre farm in the White Creek Valley. During the current year, the farmer produces 100,000 bushels of wheat that he sells to a miller for $300,000 using various farming equipment. The farmer had to borrow from the bank to buy the farming equipment and pays $50,000 interest. Finally, the labor costs are $200,000 and the rent he pays to the owner of the land is $30,000. The miller produces and sells to “Bang Bakery” in Newark 1,000 lbs of flour worth $600,000. The flour is produced in a $100,000 mill in Hockessin; no rent is paid, the wage bill is $180,000 and interest payments are $70,000. Finally, “Bang Bakery” makes and sells bread to the Newark consumers for $1,000,000. The rent for their factory and their stores is $100,000 – their interest payments are $50,000 - their wage bill, $300,000. It was not a good year for “Bang Bakery.” Calculate the contribution to GDP of these transactions using three different methods: The value added approach Value…arrow_forward1. Shelley is deciding whether to start a winery. To do this, she must leave her job as a consultant from which she could earn $120,000 as a full-time employee, and instead take a part-time job as a gardener that pays $30,000. It costs her $110,000 to install watering equipment and vines. She pays for one-half of this amount from her savings, and borrows one-half. There is a 10% rate of interest. If she was to cease her business, then the watering equipment and vines would have no resale value. As well, she must pay $25,000 per year for water.
