Calculating GDP Contribution from a Production Chain
In a simple economy, a farmer sells wheat to a miller for $100. The miller processes the wheat into flour and sells it to a baker for $150. The baker then uses the flour to bake bread, which is sold to consumers for $250. Based on these transactions, what is the total contribution to this economy's Gross Domestic Product (GDP)? Explain your reasoning.
