    Consider an economy that produces wood, boats, and has a marketing agency.This year domestic wood production generates revenues of $80. Of this $80 worth of wood, $40were purchased by the boat producer and $40 were sold abroad to a foreign company. The woodproducer paid $40 worth of wages and $10 worth of taxes.The boat producer combines the services of the marketing agency, the wood it purchased from thewood producer, and $20 worth of labor (wages) to produce $120 worth of boats. Its revenues,which include a boat produced in the previous year and that was carried as inventory, are $130.Domestic families buy all these boats.
