Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the indication of the scenarios that will be included and excluded.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) can be described the monetary value of all finished goods and services produced within a country, whether or not the producers are citizens of the country, during a particular period, e.g. a year from January 1 to December 31 of the year. .

Based on this definition, we have:

1. Calculo, a U.S. electronics company, produces a calculator at a plant in Indonesia on March 27, 2015. Calculo imports the calculator into the United States on May 18, 2020.

This will be excluded because the production of the calculator was carried out in 2015, not in 2020, and outside the US despite a US company is the producer.

2. Rotato, a U.S. tire company, produces a set of tires at a plant in Michigan on September 25, 2020. It sells the set of tires to Speedmaster for use in the production of a two-door coupe that will be made in the United States in 2020. (Note: Focus exclusively on whether the production of the set of tires increases GDP directly, and ignore the effect of the production of the two-door coupe on GDP.)

This will be included because the set tire was produced in 2020 by a US company within the US.

3. An accountant starts a client's 2020 tax return on April 14, 2021, finishing it just before midnight on April 15, 2021.

This will be excluded because the tax return service was carried in 2021 , not in 2020, despite that it was by a US citizen within the US.

4. Fastlane, a Japanese automobile company, produces a sedan at a plant in Indiana on December 9, 2020. A family buys the sedan on December 24.

This will be included because the production of the Sedan was carried out within the US in 2020 even though it was produced by a foreign company.

5. Awake Cafe, a U.S. coffee company, produces a latte at its location in Minneapolis on January 14, 2020. It sells the latte to a customer immediately.

This will be included because the latte was produced in 2020 by a US company within the US.
