d

Answer to Question 2

Economists calculate GDP as the value of all final goods and services produced in one year. The ribs and napkins are intermediate goods whose value is included in the value of the final product dinners sold. Counting purchases of ribs and napkins by the restaurant in GDP would result in double counting.
