    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

     c and d. You are not required to do this.
