Intermediate goods are not counted in the calculation of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) because they are already included in the final goods and services that are produced and sold to consumers. Including intermediate goods in GDP would result in double counting, as they are already accounted for in the value of the final products.

How do intermediate goods factor into the calculation of GDP?
Intermediate goods are not included in the calculation of GDP to avoid double counting. GDP only includes the value of final goods and services produced within a country's borders during a specific time period.
Why used goods are not taken in gross domestic product GDP calculation?
That would be counting them twice, they were already counted when new.
If intermediate goods are included in GDP what would happen to the GDP?
the GDP would be overstated
Why aren't intermediate goods considered in GDP?
Intermediate goods are goods and services used as inputs for the production of final goods. AKA intermediate goods are not produced for consumption for the ultimate user.
Why are only final goods and services counted in the total production?
Because counting intermediate inputs into final goods would be a form of double-counting, increasing the GDP artificially.
