296 202 112 48 146 196 36 20 2872 646 460 240 2110 440 2246
|
Solution:
a- GDP =C + I + G + (X - M)
=2110 + 440 + 460 + (36 - 20)
=3212
b- Depreciation =GDP - NDP
=3212 - 2872
=340
c- Compensation of employees
=GDP - depreciation - indirect tax - corporate profit - corporate indirect tax - rent and interest earned - proprietor's income
= 3212 - 340 - 296 - 202 - 196 - 146
= 2032
d- Personal income =NI - corporate income tax - undistributed corporate profit - social security contribution + transfer payment
NI =NNP - Indirect taxes - Subsidies
=2872 - 296 + 00
=2575
PI =2576 - 112 - 48 - 240 + 460
=2636
e- Personal Income Tax =PI - Disposable income
=2636 - 2246
=390
f- Net export =X - M
=36 - 20
=16

|
1653 7818 2497 9895 1998 1089 1498 1324
|
On basis of the data calculate;
a- Gross National Product
b- Net National Product
c- Personal Saving
Solution:
a- GNP =C + I + G + (X - M) + (R - P)
=7818 + 1998 + 2497 + (1089 - 1653) + (00 - 00)
=11749
b- NNP =GNP - Depreciation
=11749 - 1324
=10425
c- Personal Saving =Personal income - Direct Tax - Consumption expenditure
=9895 - 1494 - 7818
=583

Solution:
National Income by Expenditure Method;
NI =C + I + G + NX + FIFA - IT + Subsidies
=200 + (60 - 10) +40 + (-10) + (-20) - 50 + 10
= 220
Nation Income by Income Method;
NI =Wages & salaries + rent + operating surplus + mixed income + net factor income from abroad + depreciation + subsidies
NI =100 + 10 + 40 + 80 + (-20) + 00 +10
=240 - 20
=220

Solution:
By Income Method;
GDPMP =Compensation of employees + Rent + Interest + Dividend + Undistributed profit + Indirect taxes + Corporate Tax + Net factor income from abroad + Depr.(Consmp. of fixed capital)
=800 + 40 + 60 + 90 + 10 + 100 + 20 + (-20) + 20
=1140 - 20
=1120
By Expenditure Method;
GDPMP =C + I + G + (X - M) + NFIA
=800 + (100 + 20) + 200 + 20 + (-20)
=1140 - 20
=1120

Solution:
By Income Method;
GNPMP =Comp. of employees + Rental Income + Net interest + Corporate profit + Proprietor's income + NFIA + Indirect taxes + Depreciation
=9186 + 264 + 682 + 2059 +946 + 00 + 739 +708
=14584
GNPMP =C + I + G + (X - M) + NFIA
=11943 + (1671 -3 + 708) + 757 + (-492) + 00
=14584
NI =GNPMP - Depr. - IT + Sub
=14584 - 708 - 739
=13137
PI =NI - UCP - SSC - CIT + TP
=13137 - 2059 - 1000 + (3182 + 459)
=13719
DI =PI - DT
=13719 - 413
=13306
PS =DI - C (C = Consumption exp.)
=13306 - 11943
=1363

|
200000 400000 500000
|
Solution:
DGP at MP =Qnt. × Price - Value of raw materials
=1000 × 1000 + 5000 × 500 + 2000 × 400 + 1500 × 20 - 1500000
=10,00000 + 25,00000 + 8,00000 +30000- 15,00000
=43,30000 - 15,00000
=28,30000
GNP at MP = GDP at MP + Net factor income from abroad
=28,30,000 + 2,00,000
=30,30,000
NI =GNP at MP - Depre. - Indirect taxes
=30,30,000 - 5,00,000 - 4,00,000
=30,30,000 - 9,00,000
=21,30,000

Solution:
a- Under final product method, the value of final product is taken as GDP. According to the question, the final product is bread here and its value is equal to 1000.
Hence GDP = 1000
b- Under value added method, the value added at every stage of production is added together to measure GDP. According to
the question value added at each stage of production is give as follows.
.Farmer (00) value added 200
.Miller (500 - 200) value added 300
.Baker (1000 - 500) value added 500
Gross value added 1000
Hence, GDP = 1000
2.3- From the following hypothetical data, GDP at market price and GDP at factor cost.

|
38 34 -3 10 25 20 170 30 5
|
Solution:
GDP at MP =Wages & salaries + profits + rent + interest + mixed income + net indirect taxes + depreciation + employer's contribution to sss.
=170 + 25 + 10 + 20 + 5 + 38 + 34 + 30
=332
GDP at FC = GDP at MP - Net indirect taxes
=332 - 38
=294

a- Calculate NDP at FC and GDP at MP.
b- Calculate GNP at MP and NNP at FC.
c- Calculate NI.
Solution:
a - NDP at FC =Wages & salaries + profit + rent + interest + royalties
=240 + 30 + 10 + 25 + 5
=310
GDP at MP =NDP at FC + Depre. + Net indirect taxes
=310 + 50 + 40
=400
b- GNP at MP =GDP at MP + Net factor income from abroad
= 400 + (-5)
=395
NNP at FC =GNP at MP - Depre. - Net indirect taxes
=395 - 50 - 40
=305
c- NI =NNP at FC (NI is always equal to NNP at FC)
=305

|
Solution:
NI =Wages & salaries + rent + interest + profit + mixed income + net factor income from abroad
=2000 + 300 + 500 + (3000 + 1000 + 600) + 1000 + 200
=2800 + 4600 + 1200
=8600 (hints: Profit includes dividend, undistributed profit, corporate income tax)
Personal Income =NI - Undistributed corporate profit - Corporate income tax - Social security contribution + Transfer payment
=8600 - 1000 - 600 -1000 + 800
=9400 - 2600
=6800
Disposable income =PI - Personal Taxes (Direct Tax)
=6800 - 500
=6300
Personal saving =DI - Private consumption
=6300 - 5000
=1300

Solution:
NI =GDP at MP + Net factor income from abroad - Depreciation - Net indirect taxes
=10000 + 1500 - 1000 - 2000
=8500
PI =NI - Undistributed corporate profit - corporate income taxes - Social security contribution + Transfer payment
=8500 - 500 - 1000 - 500 + 1500
=10000 - 2000
=8000
DI =PI - Personal taxes (Direct Tax)
=8000 - 500
=7500
PS =DI - Private consumption expenditure
=7500 - 6000
=1500
