1.What does GDP stand for and measure, in the video's definition?
The video defines GDP as the value of all final goods and services a country produces in a given period.
2.In the worked example, Leo sells flour for 30 and Marge sells bread for 100. What is GDP?
Only final sales count: the flour is inside the bread. Leo added 30 and Marge added 70, together 100 (worked example).
3.With households 70, business investment 20, government 25, exports 15 and imports 30, what is GDP?
GDP is 70 plus 20 plus 25 plus 15, minus 30, which makes 100 in the worked example.
