Gross output

Gross output is like the big picture of all the things a country or company makes. You know how your mom or dad might bake a cake? They have to gather all the ingredients like flour, sugar, and eggs, and mix it all together to make the batter. Then they put it in the oven to bake.

Well, gross output is like all the ingredients and the finished cake combined. It includes everything a company produces or sells, like the materials they use and the products they make. It's like counting all the cakes your mom or dad makes in a year, including all the ingredients they use to make them.

This helps us get an idea of how much a company or country is producing, so we can understand things like how well the economy is doing. It's important because if a company or country is making a lot of things, it means there are more things to sell and more people needed to make them.

So, think of gross output like a cake - it's all the ingredients and the finished product combined, so we can see how much work went into making it and understand how well everything is going.
