The answer is: Candyland's GDP for 2017 is $910

Explanation:

All final and legal products and services produced during the year should be included in the GDP.

Candyland's total production of final goods during 2017 was:

150 candy bars at $3 each = $450 80 bags of caramels at $2 each = $160 30 solid chocolate bunnies at $10 each = $300

So Candyland's GDP for 2017 is $450 + $160 + $300 = $910
