Answer to Question 1

The assertion is incorrect. Your purchase of 1,000 of Microsoft stock does not increase GDP because it is the purchase of a financial asset. The investment component of GDP is the purchase of new capital goods. Your purchase of stock is not the purchase of a new capital good and hence, as a purely financial transaction, it is not included in GDP.
