    The correct option is B,$20,000.

    Explanation:

    Using an output approach to computing the value of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inputs of tires and compact disc player should not be counted as they form part of the finished output, the car, hence option A is an obviously wrong answer.

    Again, we are considering the value of GDP based on the amounts of final products produced in the economy, then issue of deducting profits does not arise, thereby rendering options C and D as invalid answers as well.
