1. State whether following is true or false. Give a reason for your answer.

a) Capital formation is a flow

Ans. True, because it is measured over a period of time.

b) Bread is always a consumer good.

Ans. False, it depends upon the end use of bread. When it is purchased by a household it is a consumer good. When purchased by the restaurant for making a sandwich, it is an intermediate (producer) good.

c) Nominal GDP can never be less than real GDP

d) Gross domestic capital formation is always greater than gross fixed capital formation.

Ans. The false, gross domestic capital formation can be less than gross fixed capital formation if a change in stock is negative.

2. Why are exports included in the estimation of domestic product by the expenditure method? Can the gross domestic product be greater than the gross national product? Explain

Ans. Expenditure method estimates expenditure on domestic product i.e., expenditure on final goods and services produced within the economic territory of the country. It includes expenditure by residents and non-residents both. Exports though purchased by non-residents are produced within the economic territory and therefore a part of a domestic product.

Domestic product can be greater than national product if the factor income paid to the rest of the world is greater than the factor income received from the rest of the world i.e when net factor income received from abroad is negative.

3. How will you treat the following while estimating domestic product of India?

a) Rent received by resident Indian from his property in Singapore.

Ans. No, it will not be included in a domestic product as this income is earned outside the economic territory of India.

b) Salaries of Indians working in the Japanese Embassy in India

Ans. It will not be included in the domestic product of India as the embassy of Japan is not a part of the economic territory of India.

c) Profits earned by a branch of an American bank in India.

Ans. a) Purchase of new car by a household: purchase of the car is included in the national income because it is final consumption expenditure, which is part of national income.

b) Purchase of raw material by purchase unit: purchase of raw material by purchase unit is not included in the national income because the raw material is intermediate goods and intermediate goods and service are excluded from the national income. Purchase of raw material, if included in national income will result in double counting.

c) Expenditure by the government on scholarship to the student is not included in the national income because it is a transfer payment and no productive service is rendered by the student in exchange.

5. Are the following item included in estimating a country‘s national income? Give reason.

Ans. 1) free cloth was given to workers: free cloth given to worker is a part of wages in kind i.e. compensation to employee such compensation to the employee is paid for the productive services in the economy, it is included in the national income.

NATIONAL INCOME – NUMERICALS

1. Calculate Value Added at factor cost from the following.

Ans.    Sales + Δin stock = value of output

200 + (cl. St – op. st)

200 + (10 -15)

= 200 -5=195

Value of output – intermediate consumption

= value added at MP

195-48 = 147

V.A at FC = V.A at MP – Net indirect tax

147 – 20

127 crores

2. Calculate (a) Net National Product at MP, and 

(b) Gross National Disposable Income

            ITEMS                                                               Rs. crores

a.         Private final Consumption expenditure                      200

b.         Net indirect taxes                                                     20

c.         Change in stocks                                                       (--)15

d.         Net current transfers from abroad                             (--)10

e.         Govt. final consumption expenditure                         50

f.          Consumption of fixed capital                                     15

g.         Net domestic capital formation                                  30

h.         Net factor income from abroad                                  5

i.          Net imports                                                               10

Ans: (a) + (e) + (g) + (-i) = NDP _MP

200 + 50+ 30 -10

280 -10 = 270 crores

NNP _MP = NDP _MP + NFIFA

270 + 5 = 275

NNP _MP + 275 crores

GNDI = NNP _PC + NFIFA + Net indirect taxes + Net current transfers from abroad + Depreciation (comp of fixed capital)

NNP _MP – net in tax = 275 – 20 =255 crores

GNDI = 255 + 20 + 5 + (-10) + 15

= 295 – 10 = 285 crores

GNDI = 285 crores

h.         Net factor income from abroad          (--)20

i.          Interest                                                 5

j.          Consumption of fixed capital             40

k.         Net indirect taxes                                10

Ans: GDP _MP by production method

(b) (i) + (ii) + (iii) – a (i) + (ii) + ( iii) = value added

(1000+ 900 + 700) – (500 -400-400)

2600 – 1300 = 1300 crores    Value added at MP (GDP _MP)

Income method

Compensation of employees + operating surplus + mixed income = NDP _FC

= 400 + 300 + 550 = 1250 crores

GDP _MP = NDP _FC + conspn of fixed capital + net In. tax

            = 1250+ 40 + 10

GDP _MP =1300
