Calculating GDP DIRECTIONS There are different stations set up around the room. Each station contains a set of cards for calculating GDP. There are cards for the production approach, the expenditure approach, and the income approach. Begin at one station and make sure the cards are shuffled. Place the cards in the four appropriate piles face down. Draw one card from each pile, and calculate the GDP using the data on those four cards. An example of how to calculate each of the different methods is provided under each heading below. PRODUCTION APPROACH In order to find GDP using the production approach, add together all of the value added amounts. EXPENDITURE APPROACH In order to find GDP using the expenditure approach, add together the values of consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports. To find the value of net exports, subtract imports from exports. INCOME APPROACH In order to find GDP using the income approach, add together the values of wages, interest, rent, and profit.
