Transcript text: Assume an economy where there are two producers: a computer components producer and a computer producer. Assume the computer components producer makes $\$ 3,000,000$ worth of computer components in the current year, while incurring costs of $\$ 1,500,000$ in labor and $\$ 500,000$ in taxes. Suppose the computer components company sells all its product to the computer producer who builds five supercomputers. The costs of the computer producer include $\$ 3,000,000$ in computer components, $\$ 800,000$ in labor, and $\$ 200,000$ in taxes. Suppose that the computer producer sells two of the supercomputers for $\$ 1,000,000$ each to the domestic government, 1 supercomputer for $\$ 1,000,000$ to a foreign government, and at the end of the year it had not sold the fourth and fifth computer. The unsold computers are carried on the computer manufacturer's books as an \$2,000,000 increase in inventory.
Using the income approach, what is the total cost for the computer producer?
$\$ 5,000,000$
$\$ 4,000,000$
$\$ 3,000,000$
$\$ 2,000,000$
\$1,000,000
