Counted as part of consumptionC. Counted as part of investmentD. Counted as part of governmentE. Counted as part of net exports

Answer :

Answer:

Not counted in GDP

Explanation:

GDP is the sum of all final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year.

The components of GDP are :

1. Consumption spending - it is spending by households on final goods and services.

2. Investment spending- the purchase of inventories by businesses

3. Government Spending: the total amount of money spent by the government

4. Net Export - export less import.

GDP measures total output produced and stock isn't an output so it isn't added in the calculation of GDP.
