Solution

The economic value added method calculates GDP by adding up the value added at each stage of production.

In this case, John sold his rice to Jack for $5 last year. This transaction is not included in the current year's GDP because it took place in the previous year.

In the current year, Jack makes flour from the rice and sells it to Jill for 12.Thevalueaddedatthisstageofproductionisthesellingpriceoftheflour(12. The value added at this stage of production is the selling price of the flour (12) minus the cost of the rice (5),whichequals5), which equals 7.

Therefore, the contribution to the GDP of Australia from this process in the current year is $7.
