Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

A negative value added means that the cost of the intermediate goods exceeds the price of the final product produced using the intermediate goods. For value added to be negative, a firm would use its primary factors of production, such as labor and capital equipment, to produce a product from the intermediate goods that is less valuable than the intermediate goods themselves.
