Explanation / Answer

(9)

Value added by Firm A = $4,500

Value added by Firm B = $(8,600 - 4,500) = $4,100

Value added by Firm C = $(14,700 - 8,600) = $6,100

Value added by Firm D = $(20,100 - 14,700) = $5,400

Value added by Firm E = $(32,200 - 20,100) = $12,100

Total value added by all firms = $(4,500 + 4,100 + 6,100 + 5,400 + 12,100) = $32,200
