the economy is what commodity to produce and in what quantity. As
our economy have limited resources that is scarcity of resources is
available than to calculate national income there is need to
evaluate what commodity a economy have to produce and in which
quantity so that resources can be utilised fully. There is need to
plan according on the basis of resources available.

that some countries are labour intensive and some are capital
intensive. There is need to understand what quantity of labour and
capital is required to produce a commodity.
- Third problem of the economy is for whom to produce here we
know that different individual have different purchasing power
according to their income. Some individual have high purchasing
power whii some have low puri power. So before producing any
commodity there is need to analyse whether the product is producing
for capitalist economy or the working class.
