Old office furniture

Old office furniture

This assortment of office furniture is very much past its use-by date. It has become trashed through long use. Gross domestic product (GDP) does not take into account the depreciating value of such assets. If such costs are taken into account the resulting figure would be net domestic product (NDP).
