Explanation:

Gross Domestic Product can be described as the total value of all final goods and services in a monetary form made in a country within a period of one year, by all the residents of the country regardless of whether they are citizens or foreigners. It emphasizes the geographic aspect of production, that is, the value of output within a country. It, therefore, excludes the earnings of citizens or their investment abroad, but it includes the earnings of foreigners or earning from foreign investment in the country. However, GDP excludes money made from illegal business or goods, service not paid for e.g services rendered to oneself or others which are not paid for like giving a free ride to friends or services rendered by children or housewives.
