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.
the GDP would be overstated
to avoid double counting
GDP
The dollar value of final goods includes the dollar value of intermediate goods. If intermediate goods were counted, then multiple counting would occur. The value of steel (intermediate good) used in autos is included in the price of the auto (the final product).
Because counting intermediate inputs into final goods would be a form of double-counting, increasing the GDP artificially.

The difference between intermediate goods and final goods is in their nature. Intermediate goods are finished goods which can be used to make other good like wool. The final goods are sold to consumers like a woolen coat.

Final goods and services are included in GDP because they are only going to be sold once. Intermediate goods aren't included because they are goods that contribute to present or future consumer welfare but are not direct sources of utility themselves. hope it helps a little.
Nominal GDP is GDP evaluated at current market prices. Therefore, the nominal GDP for 2005 is calculated by taking the quantities of all (final, excluding the intermediate) goods and services purchased in 2005 and multiplying them by their 2005 prices. Another way of calculating nominal GDP is to add total value of consumption (consumption goods) and investment goods plus government expenditure and exports minus imports. Still another way of calculating nominal GDP is to add up all wages & salaries, all rents, all interest, and all profits. The gross domestic product (GDP) or gross domestic income (GDI) is one of the measures of national income and output for a given country's economy. GDP is defined as the total market value of all final goods and services produced within the country in a given period of time (usually a calendar year). It is also considered the sum of value added at every stage of production (the intermediate stages) of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time, and it is given a money value. The most common approach to measuring and understanding GDP is the expenditure method: GDP = consumption + gross investment + government spending + (exports − imports), or, GDP = C + I + G + (X-M).
because yes
1. Working at home 2. Illegal work and business 3. Buying and selling intermediate goods 4. work for yourself 5. buying secondhand products
The final goods is counted in GDP or gross domestic product so that double counting does not happen. GDP uses market value and transactions that have completed that day.
