Definitions across various resources state that GDP is the market vaue of all goods 'produced' in a certain time period. But while calculating GDP by expenditure method, consumers' spending is one of the components (GDP= consumer spending + Firm's investments + Government spending + net exports)
Suppose a manufacturer produced goods in Q1 and customers bought those goods in Q2 from an inventory, will Q1 GDP increase or Q2 increase due to this purchase?
Sorry for the rookie question
