Solution

The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is calculated by adding up the market value of all final goods and services produced in a country within a specific time period. In this case, the final product is the clothes sold by the market.

Here's how you calculate it:

  1. The farmer sells the cotton to the garment factory for ¥3,000. This is an intermediate good and does not count towards the GDP.

  2. The garment factory processes the cotton into clothes and sells them to the market for ¥4,000. This is also an intermediate good and does not count towards the GDP.

  3. The market sells the final product, the clothes, to consumers for ¥5,000. This is the final good and its value is counted towards the GDP.

So, the contribution to China's GDP from this series of transactions is ¥5,000.
