Answer to Question 1

We purposely leave intermediate goods or services out of our calculation of GDP so we don't double count. Examples of this are not counting the tires produced by Firestone that are then sold to Ford to be placed on their new cars. If we counted the tires when they were produced by Firestone and then also counted them when they were part of the Ford, we would be double counting them.

Answer to Question 2

D
