    In option (a) no it does not contribute to the US GDP in any year. The transaction appears in expenditure as an increase in consumption and a decrease in net exports that offset. According to option (b) yes it contributes to US GDP in 2013. The transaction appears as an increase in investment (increase in inventory). In 2014, the transaction appears as an increase in net exports offset by a decrease in investment. According to option (c), the transaction appears in expenditure as an increase in consumption in 2014 offset by a decrease in net exports. Option (d) represents the transaction appears as an increase in investment (increase in inventory). In 2014, the transaction appears as an increase in consumption offset by a decrease in investment. According to option (e) yes, it contributes $1000 to US GDP in 2014. The $6000 purchase price exceeds the price paid by the used car dealer. The difference represents value added by the dealership - this is a service that should be counted as part of GDP.
