"which one of the following transactions would be included in gdp?
a. mr. doe donates $500 to his town's junior college scholarship fund.
b. ms. kim pays $50 for a used picture frame at a neighborhood garage sale.
c. ms. smith pays $5,000 to purchase 100 shares of microsoft stock.
d. ms. bartolini pays $500 to fix the front end of her car damaged in a recent accident."

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

GDP of an economy includes the total value of final goods and services produced in an economy in a year. It does not include the value of intermediate goods as this would lead to double counting.  

It also does not include the value of the sale of second-hand goods because of the same reason.  

The donation will not be included directly in the GDP as it not a payment for goods and services.  

The purchase of financial assets is also not included in the GDP.  

So only the money paid for fixing a damaged car will be included in the GDP. It is included as it is a payment made in return for a service.
