PARRAINGO

As a result of the spending in Costa Rica, the following are true:

  • Eco-lodge spending will increase GDP by $10,000.
  • Purchase of stove will increase GDP by $10,000.

Why would the GDP change in Costa Rica?

The Gross Domestic Product refers to the total value of final goods and services in a country within a year.

If Eco-lodge buys solar panels made in Costa Rica, those panels will contribute to Costa Rica's GDP by increasing it by their price of $10,000.

The same would happen when the neighboring lodge spends $10,000 to buy stoves from Costa Rica because those stoves would also count towards GDP.
