2. Assume a Hyundai dealership in Delhi bought 30 Hyundais from Korea at a cost of $15,000 per car in September of 2018. By December 31, 2019 they had sold 20 of the Hyundais at a price of $18,000 each. The remaining Hyundais were sold in January of 2020 at a price of $16,000 each. How exactly does this affect the GDP in the Delhi in 2019 and 2020, and which categories of GDP (C, 1, G, or NX) are affected? (10 marks)
Import = 30 cars at a cost of $15,000
Net Export, NX = Export – Import
Net Export, NX = 0 ‑ (30 x $15,000) = ‑ $450,000
Consumption, C = 20 Cars sold at a price of $18,000
= + (20 x 18,000)
= + $360,000
Investment, I = 10 cars remaining with the dealership
= + (10 x 15,000)
= + $150,000
Change inGDP = Consumption, C + Investment, I + Net Export,NX
= $360,000 + $150,000 ‑ $450,000
=$ 60,000
The value added in 2019 is 20 x 3,000 = 60,000.
In 2020:
Consumption, C = 10 Cars sold at a price of $16,000
= + (10 x 16,000)
= + 160,000
Change in Investment, I = 10 cars reduced from the dealership
= ‑ (10 x 15,000)
= ‑ 150,000
Change inGDP = Consumption, C + Investment, I + Net Export,NX
= 160,000 ‑ 150,000 + 0
= + 10,000
The value added in 2020 is 10 x 1,000 = 10,000
