Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A hamburger purchased by a hungry restaurant patron is included in GDP calculations because it is a final good, meaning it is a product that will not be sold again in any form. GDP measures the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period, and the hamburger represents a final consumption good.
