Genovia produced 10 million tonnes of wheat in a particular year. However, 1 million tonnes got infested with pests and had to be thrown away. How will this affect the calculation of the gross domestic product of the country for that year?

What will be an ideal response?

The quantity of wheat that had to be thrown away will not affect the calculation of GDP since depreciation is not included in the calculation of GDP.
