The correct answer is option 4: broker's commission
- Second-hand goods: Not included, as they do not represent current production; they are just resold items.
- Intermediate goods: Not included, to avoid double counting. They are goods used in the production of final goods and services.
- Transfer payments: Not included, as they are not payments for goods or services but rather transfers from the government or other entities (e.g., pensions, unemployment benefits).
- Broker's commission: Included, as it represents a service provided in the current period and contributes to the overall expenditure on final goods and services.
