19 is added to the gdp

Explanation:

6 (bag of oranges) + 6 (bag of oranges) + (12-6) (juice) + (7-6) (bag of oranges) = 19 is added to the gdp

In this case I'm using the income approach to calculate GDP, which includes the income earned by wages to labor (not present), rent by land (you may say that the original bag of oranges), the return on capital (interest, not present), and entrepreneur's profits (juice and grocery store)
