Capital goods are man-made, durable items businesses use to produce goods and services. They include tools, buildings, vehicles, machinery and equipment.
Capital goods are also called durable goods, real capital, and economic capital. Some experts just refer to them as "capital." This last term is confusing because it can also mean financial capital. In accounting, capital goods are treated as fixed assets. They’re also known as “plant, property, and equipment.”

Vikas Kapoor answered
Gross National Income = Gross Domestic Income + Net Factor Income from Abroad
where,
Net Factor Income from Abroad = Factor Income earned from Abroad- Factor Income Paid Abroad
Thus, from here we can derive that Domestic Factor Income will be greater than the National Income when Factor income paid Abroad is more than Factor income earned from Abroad.

  • b)
    GNP at current prices
  • c)
    GNP at constant prices
  • d)
    GNP less Net factor income from abroad
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Meera Rane answered
Explanation:

  • GNP stands for Gross National Product which is the total value of goods and services produced by a country in a given period of time.

  • Real GNP refers to the GNP that has been adjusted for inflation, and it is measured in constant prices.

  • Nominal GNP refers to the GNP that has not been adjusted for inflation, and it is measured in current prices.

  • Net factor income from abroad refers to the income received by a country from abroad minus the income paid by the country to foreign entities.

  • Therefore, Real GNP is the GNP that has been adjusted for inflation and is measured in constant prices.

  • Real GNP is a more accurate measure of a country's economic performance than Nominal GNP because it takes into account the effects of inflation.

  • Real GNP can be calculated by using a price index such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) deflator to adjust Nominal GNP for inflation.

Can the gross domestic product be greater than the gross national product?
  • a)
    No
  • b)
    Never
  • c)
    Yes
  • d)
    Can’t say
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Rajat Patel answered
Yes, it is possible for GDP to be higher than GNP and it is also possible for GNP to be higher than GDP. GNP greater than GDP is best for a country because it means that the population of that country will have a greater total income (i.e. total output) than if GDP was greater than GNP.

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Gopal Sengupta answered
Explanation:



Factor income is the income that is earned through factors of production such as land, labor, capital, and enterprise. Here, we need to identify the factor income among the given options.



a) Royalty: Royalty is the amount paid to the owner of an asset for its use. It is not a factor income as it is not earned through any factor of production.



b) Rent: Rent is the payment made to the owner of land or any other asset for its use. It is a factor income as it is earned through land, which is a factor of production.



c) Subsidies: Subsidies are the financial assistance provided by the government to promote an industry or a product. It is not a factor payment as it is not earned through any factor of production.



d) Tax: Tax is a financial charge imposed by the government on individuals or businesses for the income earned or goods and services consumed. It is not a factor income as it is not earned through any factor of production.



Therefore, the correct answer is option B, Rent is a factor income.

Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Nandini Iyer answered
The answer is a.
GNP Deflator: It is clear that nominal GNP usually exceeds real GNP because of inflation. Greater the difference between nominal and real GNP, greater is the inflation. It may happen that GNP data at constant prices may not be available in the economy.

Answer: c) Microeconomics focuses on individual and small group behavior and decision-making related to the allocation of resources.

Explanation: Microeconomics is a branch of economics that examines the behavior of individuals and firms in making decisions regarding the allocation of scarce resources. It focuses on the study of small economic units such as individuals, households, and firms. In contrast, macroeconomics deals with the overall performance of the economy and its key indicators such as GDP, inflation, and unemployment.

    GNP
  • b)
    GDP
  • c)
    NI
  • d)
    NNP
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Zainab Lawal answered
Net National Income (NNI)

Definition:
Net National Income (NNI) measures the total income earned by individuals and businesses within a country's borders in a given period.

Calculation:
NNI is calculated by subtracting depreciation from the Gross National Product (GNP). It represents the total amount of goods and services produced within a country in a specific period after deducting depreciation.

Importance:
1. Reflects the overall economic performance of a country.
2. Helps in comparing the economic growth of different countries.
3. Provides insights into the distribution of income among individuals and businesses.

Difference from other measures:
NNI differs from GDP and GNP as it takes into account depreciation, which is the decrease in the value of goods and services over time. This adjustment provides a more accurate representation of the income generated within a country.
In conclusion, Net National Income is an essential economic indicator that measures the total income earned by individuals and businesses within a country's borders. It accounts for depreciation and provides valuable insights into the economic performance and income distribution of a nation.

What time ______
  • a)
    the train leaves?
  • b)
    leaves the train?
  • c)
    is the train leaving?
  • d)
    does the train leave?
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Diya Kapoor answered
Explanation:
The correct question formation to ask about the time of the train leaving is "What time does the train leave?" Here is an explanation of why the other options are incorrect:

A) "What time the train leaves?" This sentence is not a complete question because it is missing the auxiliary verb "does." In English, we use auxiliary verbs to form questions in the present tense. Without "does," the sentence is a statement.

B) "Leaves the train?" This sentence is not a question at all. It is a sentence fragment. It is missing the subject "the train" and the auxiliary verb "does" to form a complete question.

C) "Is the train leaving?" This sentence is asking if the train is in the process of leaving right now. It is not asking for a specific time when the train will leave in the future.

D) "Does the train leave?" This is the correct way to form the question. It uses the auxiliary verb "does" to form the question in the present tense, and "leave" is the bare infinitive form of the verb. The sentence is asking for the specific time when the train will leave in the future.

Therefore, the correct option is 'D' - "What time does the train leave?"

Which of the following is not a limitation of national income estimates?
  • a)
    Exclusion of non-market activities
  • b)
    Ignoring income distribution
  • c)
    Ignoring environmental degradation
  • d)
    Exclusion of transfer payments
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Deepak Iyer answered
National income estimates have several limitations, including the exclusion of non-market activities, ignoring income distribution, and excluding transfer payments. However, national income estimates do not directly address the issue of environmental degradation. Environmental concerns are typically addressed through separate indicators and measures.

  • d)
    Net factor retained earnings from abroad
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

The Relationship Between Domestic Factor Income and National Income

To understand the relationship between domestic factor income and national income, we need to first define these terms.

Domestic Factor Income: Domestic factor income refers to the income earned by domestic factors of production, such as labor and capital, within a country's borders. It includes wages, salaries, rent, and profits earned by individuals and businesses within the domestic economy.

National Income: National income, on the other hand, is the total income earned by all factors of production, both domestic and foreign, within a country's borders. It includes domestic factor income as well as net factor income from abroad.

Net Factor Income from Abroad: Net factor income from abroad is the difference between the income earned by domestic factors of production in foreign countries and the income earned by foreign factors of production within the domestic economy. It includes wages, salaries, rent, and profits earned by domestic factors abroad, minus the income earned by foreign factors in the domestic economy.

The Role of Net Factor Income from Abroad in Calculating National Income:

Now, let's consider the question at hand - what must be added to domestic factor income to obtain national income? The correct answer is option 'A', which is net factor income earned from abroad.

Net factor income from abroad is an important component of national income as it represents the income earned by domestic factors of production in foreign countries. By including this income in the calculation of national income, we get a more comprehensive measure of the total income generated within a country's borders.

Including net factor income from abroad is necessary because factors of production, such as labor and capital, can also earn income outside of the domestic economy. For example, a domestic company may have subsidiaries or branches in foreign countries where it earns profits. Similarly, domestic workers may find employment opportunities abroad and earn wages there.

By adding net factor income from abroad to domestic factor income, we capture the income earned by domestic factors both within the domestic economy and abroad. This provides a more accurate measure of the total income generated by a country's factors of production.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, when calculating national income, we need to add net factor income from abroad to domestic factor income. This is because net factor income from abroad represents the income earned by domestic factors of production in foreign countries, which is an important component of a country's total income. Including this income provides a more comprehensive measure of national income and helps capture the income generated by a country's factors of production both domestically and abroad.

Net National Product (NNP) can be calculated by:
  • a)
    Adding depreciation to GDP
  • b)
    Subtracting depreciation from GDP
  • c)
    Adding indirect taxes to GDP
  • d)
    Subtracting indirect taxes from GDP
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Deepak Iyer answered
 Net National Product (NNP) is calculated by subtracting depreciation (or the value of worn-out capital) from Gross Domestic Product (GDP). NNP provides a measure of the net output produced by a country after accounting for capital consumption.

Which model of the circular flow of income includes households and firms only?
  • a)
    Two-sector model
  • b)
    Three-sector model
  • c)
    Four-sector model
  • d)
    Five-sector model
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Deepak Iyer answered
The two-sector model of the circular flow of income simplifies the economy by considering only households and firms. It represents the flow of income between these two sectors, where households supply factors of production (such as labor) to firms and, in return, receive income in the form of wages, salaries, rent, and profit.

Which of the following is a component of aggregate demand?
  • a)
    Consumption
  • b)
    Savings
  • c)
    Investment
  • d)
    Imports
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Deepak Iyer answered
Aggregate demand represents the total spending on goods and services in an economy. It consists of four components: consumption (spending by households), investment (spending by businesses on capital goods), government spending, and net exports (exports minus imports).

Which of the following measures the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period?
  • a)
    GNP
  • b)
    GDP
  • c)
    NI
  • d)
    NNP
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Deepak Iyer answered
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country's borders in a specific period, usually a year. It includes goods and services produced by both domestic and foreign factors of production.

In the circular flow of income, households receive income from firms in the form of:
  • a)
    Taxes
  • b)
    Interest
  • c)
    Profits
  • d)
    Wages
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Deepak Iyer answered
 In the circular flow of income, households receive income from firms in various forms, including wages (for labor services provided), salaries (for employment in the non-business sector), rent (for the use of property), and profit (for ownership of businesses).

The main problem with measuring national income by the output method is:
  • a)
    Difficulty in valuing intermediate goods
  • b)
    Exclusion of government expenditures
  • c)
    Inclusion of imports
  • d)
    Inclusion of investment expenditures
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Deepak Iyer answered
The output method of measuring national income involves summing up the value of all final goods and services produced. One of the main challenges in this method is accurately valuing intermediate goods, which are used as inputs in the production process. Determining the appropriate value for intermediate goods can be complex and may lead to inaccuracies in national income estimates.

In the three-sector model, the additional sector that is included is:
  • a)
    Government
  • b)
    Foreign sector
  • c)
    Financial sector
  • d)
    Investment sector
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Deepak Iyer answered
The three-sector model of the circular flow of income adds the government sector to the households and firms. This model accounts for the flow of income between households, firms, and the government, representing the government's role in collecting taxes, providing public goods and services, and redistributing income.

Babies ______ when they are hungry.
  • a)
    cry
  • b)
    cries
  • c)
    cried
  • d)
    are crying
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Pranav Singh answered
The correct answer is option 'A', cry. When babies are hungry, they typically cry to communicate their needs. This is their way of expressing discomfort or seeking attention from their caregivers.

Explanation:
Babies have limited means of communication, especially in the early stages of development. Crying is one of the primary ways they express their needs. When a baby is hungry, they may cry to indicate their hunger and request to be fed. This cry is often distinctive and easily recognizable by parents and caregivers.

Crying is a natural instinct in babies and serves as a form of communication. It is their way of alerting adults that something is wrong or that they need something. Hunger is one of the most common reasons why babies cry. It is important for parents and caregivers to be responsive to a baby's cries and attend to their needs promptly.

Other options like 'cries,' 'cried,' and 'are crying' are incorrect because they do not match the subject-verb agreement. In this sentence, the subject is 'babies,' which is plural, so the correct verb form to use is 'cry,' which is the plural form. 'Cries' is the singular form of the verb and is not suitable in this context. 'Cried' is the past tense form and does not match the present tense requirement of the sentence. 'Are crying' is the present continuous form and also does not match the present tense requirement.

In conclusion, when babies are hungry, they cry to communicate their needs. Crying is their way of alerting their caregivers and seeking attention. It is important for parents and caregivers to respond to a baby's cries promptly and attend to their needs, especially when they are hungry.

Gross National Product (GNP) is equal to:
  • a)
    GDP minus net income from abroad
  • b)
    GDP plus net income from abroad
  • c)
    GNP minus net income from abroad
  • d)
    GNP plus net income from abroad
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Deepak Iyer answered
Gross National Product (GNP) is the total market value of all final goods and services produced by a country's residents, regardless of their location, in a specific period. GNP includes net income from abroad, which is the difference between income earned by domestic residents from foreign investments and income earned by foreign residents from domestic investments.
