a. Using the above data, determine GDP and NDP by the expenditure method ONLY.
ANSWERS:
GDP = $388
GDP = C + Igross + G + Xnet
Igross = Inet + depreciation = 33 + 27 = 60
GDP = 245 + 60 + 72 + 11 = 388
NDP = $361
NDP + C + Inet + G + Xnet
NDP = 245 + 33 + 72 + 11 = 361
NDP = GDP - depreciation
NDP = 388 - 27 = 361
b. Determine NI (national Income = Income EARNED) by addid up the types of income ONLY
NI = $339
NI = wages + rents + interest + profits
profits = corporate profits + proprietor's income
profits = 56 + 33 = 89
NI = 223 + 14 + 13 + 89 = 339
