Aryan Khanna answered
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.”

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.

Microeconomics is different from macroeconomic s as

Swara Saha answered
Policies and their impact on the economyc)Microeconomics focuses on individual and small group behavior and decision-making related to the allocation of resourcesd)Microeconomics focuses on overall economic indicators such as GDP and inflation rates.

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.

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.

Anjali Reddy answered
Real Flow

The term "real flow" refers to the flow of goods and services in an economy. It is an essential component of the circular flow of income model, which illustrates how money, goods, and services move between households and businesses. Real flow represents the physical exchange of goods and services between producers and consumers.

Explanation:

1. Definition of Real Flow
Real flow refers to the movement of tangible goods and intangible services from producers to consumers. It involves the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services in an economy. Real flow is a crucial aspect of economic activity as it generates income for producers and satisfies the needs and wants of consumers.

2. Components of Real Flow
Real flow consists of two main components:

a) Goods
Goods are physical products that are produced and exchanged in the economy. They can be classified into two categories: consumer goods and capital goods. Consumer goods are items that are directly consumed by individuals, such as food, clothing, and electronics. Capital goods, on the other hand, are used to produce other goods and services, such as machinery and equipment.

b) Services
Services are intangible products that are provided to consumers. They include activities such as healthcare, education, transportation, banking, and entertainment. Unlike goods, services cannot be stored or transported physically, but they still contribute to economic growth and development.

3. Importance of Real Flow
Real flow is essential for the functioning of an economy. It enables the production and consumption of goods and services, which drives economic growth and development. The flow of goods and services creates employment opportunities, generates income for individuals and businesses, and satisfies the needs and wants of consumers.

4. Relationship with Money Flow
Real flow is closely linked to the flow of money in an economy. Money flow represents the exchange of money between households and businesses in return for goods and services. It facilitates the real flow by providing a medium of exchange and a measure of value. Money flow allows producers to receive income for their goods and services, which they can then use to purchase other goods and services in the economy.

Conclusion:
In summary, real flow represents the physical exchange of goods and services in an economy. It is a crucial aspect of economic activity as it generates income, creates employment, and satisfies the needs of consumers. Real flow is closely related to the flow of money, which facilitates the exchange of goods and services.

In intermediate goods
  • a)
    Values are already added
  • b)
    Value is yet to be added
  • c)
    Value should not be added
  • d)
    Value cannot be added anymore
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rajat Patel answered
Intermediate goods or producer goods or semi-finished products are goods , such as partly finished goods, used as inputs in the production of other goods including final goods. A firm may make and then use intermediate goods, or make and then sell, or buy then use them.

Direction: Read the below case and answer the questions that follow:
The country’s real gross domestic product (GDP) is likely to expand by 11 percent in the next financial year due to a faster economic recovery and on a low base, says a report. The report by domestic rating agency Brickwork Ratings said economic activities are slowly reaching Pre-COVID levels following the relaxation of the lockdown, except in sectors that remain affected by social distancing norms.
“With progress in developing an effective vaccine for COVID-19 and signals of faster-than-expected recovery in the domestic economy, and also supported by a low base, we expect the real GDP to grow at 11 percent in F/Y 22, from the estimated contraction of 7 percent to 7.5 percent in F/Y 21,” the agency said.
According to the first advance estimates of national income released by the National Statistical Office (NSO), the country’s GDP is estimated to contract by a record 7.7 percent during the current financial year.
Real GDP is when the goods and services are produced by all producing units in the domestic territory of a country during an accounting year and valued at ___________ prices or constant price.
  • a)
    base year's
  • b)
    current year's
  • c)
    both (A) and (B)
  • d)
    neither (A) nor (B)
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Real GDP is the value of final goods and services produced in a given year expressed in terms of the prices in a base year. To calculate Real GDP, we use base year prices and multiply them by current year quantities for all the goods and services produced in an economy.

Final goods are those goods
  • a)
    Which are used either for final consumption or for investment
  • b)
    Which are used for final consumption
  • c)
    which are used for final production
  • d)
    Which are used for investment
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Jayant Mishra answered
Consumer goods are ultimately consumed, rather than used in the production of another good. For example, a microwave oven or a bicycle that is sold to a consumer is a final good or consumer good, but the components that are sold to be used in those goods are intermediate goods.

An example of factor payments is
  • a)
    Retirement pension
  • b)
    Employers’ contribution for social security

  • d)
    Unemployees’ contribution for social security
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

' wages
c)Corporate profits
d)Interest on loans

b)Employers' wages are an example of factor payments. Factor payments refer to payments made to the factors of production, which include labor, capital, land, and entrepreneurship. Employers' wages are payments made to the factor of production, labor, for their contribution to the production process.

In a two sector circular flow model the two sectors are
  • a)

  • b)
    Government and household
  • c)
    Government and financial system
  • d)
    Firm and government
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

As households are the provider of Fops(factors of production) and firms i.e producers in return provide services and final products..They both are complimentary to each others...Households spend their money on goods and services rendered by producers/firms and producers spend on FOPs like land,labour,capital,entrepreneurship skills in change of wages,rent,interest and profit
This is two sector economy..where as three and four sector economy has govt.(G) and foreign exhange(X-M)

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.

Direction: Read the below case and answer the questions that follow:
Circular Income Flow in a Two Sector Economy: In the figure given we can see that upper loop shows the resources such as land, capital and entrepreneurial ability flow from households to firms in the direction shown by the arrow direction.
The money flows from firms to the households as factor payments in the form of wages, rent, interest and profits, shown by the arrow direction.
The lower part of the figure shows the flow of money from households to firms in the form of consumption expenditure done by the households to purchase the goods and services produced by the firms, making the flow of goods and services from firms to households.
Thus, we see that money flows from business firms to households as factor payments and then it flows from households to firms. Thus, there is, in fact, a circular flow of money or income. This is how the economy functions.
Which of the following is not an assumption of a two sector model of Circular Flow of Income?
  • a)
    Domestic economy comprises only 2 sectors, the producers and the households.
  • b)
    The households spend their entire income, so that there is no saving.
  • c)
    Domestic economy is an open economy (no exports and imports).
  • d)
    There is no government in the economy.
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Naina Sharma answered
The two sector economy has the following assumptions:
  1. There are only two sectors in the economy; household sector and business sector.
  2. No government interventions over the economic activities.
  3. Business sectors do not carry out any import or export activities, creating a closed economy.

Neha Sharma answered
  • The basic purpose of the circular flow model is to understand how money moves within an economy.
  • It breaks the economy down into two primary players: households and corporations.
  • It separates the markets that these participants operate in as markets for goods and services and the markets for the factors of production.
