Explanation / Answer

(28) (d)

Purchase or sale of stocks is excluded from GDP (but Broker's transaction fee/commission from such transactions will be included).

Price index = (Nominal GDP / Real GDP) x 100 = ($6,328 Billion / $5,102 Billion) x 100 = 124

In GDP, only the value out of final goods and services is included. Only Alpha produces a final good.

GDP = Profit by Alpha = $10 million

Also, value of GDP is the same with Expenditure, Income & Value added method.
