ACCOUNTING PROFIT: The difference between a business's revenue and it's accounting expenses. This is the profit that's listed on a company's balance sheet, appears periodically in the financial sector of the newspaper, and is reported to the Internal Revenue Service for tax purposes. It frequently has little relationship to a company's economic profit because of the difference between accounting expense and the opportunity cost of production. Some accounting expense is not an opportunity cost and some opportunity cost is does not show up as an accounting expenses.

Let's highlight the phrase 'total market value' in this definition of GDP. First, total. GDP seeks to measure ALL production of goods and services in the economy. Second, market value. Market prices indicate the value of goods. We measure the total value of production by multiplying the quantity produced and traded through markets by market prices. GDP is the aggregation of the market value of all goods. - Market transactions provide an excellent source of information that can be used for calculating GDP.
- Dollars (market prices) provide a common denominator for aggregating different goods.
