Calculate GDP, GNP, NNP, National Income, Personal Income and Disposable Personal Income. You should be able to compute GDP using both the expenditures approach and the income approach.
A) Income Approach,
GDP = Wages + Salaries + Rent + Profit + Interest + Dividend
Here Income from interest, dividends, rents and proprietor's income = 12+23 +10+25 = 70
Profits = Undistributed corporate profit + corporate profits = 19+70 = 89
Wages & Salaries = 248
Therefore, GDP = 248+70+89= $407 (million dollars)
GNP = GDP + Direct Taxes + Indirect Taxes + Depreciation +Net factor income abroad
Here Direct Taxes= Personal income taxes +Corporate income taxes + Social security taxes= 38+28+8=74
Depreciation = 14
Here net factor income abroad = income receipts from rest of world- income payments to rest of world= 27-33=-6
Therefore, GNP = 407+74 + 15+ 14-6 = $504 (million dollars)
NNP or national income = GNP-Depreciation = 504-14 = $494 (million dollars)
Personal income = National income + Government Transfer Payments – Corporate Income Taxes- Social Security Taxes-undistributed profits= 494+10-28-8-19= $449 (Million dollars)
Disposable Income = Personal Income-Personal Income Taxes = 449-38= $411 (million dollars)
B) Expenditure approach,
GDP = Personal Consumption expenditure +Investment+Government Expenditure + (Exports-Imports)
Here Net domestic investment = 47, Personal consumption expenditure = 267,
Government Expenditure = Government purchase of goods and services= 69 = 69
Therefore, GDP = 267 + 47 +108+14-17= 419
GNP = GDP + Direct Taxes + Indirect Business Taxes + Depreciation +Net factor income abroad = 419 +74+15+14-6 = $516 (million dollars)
NNP or national income = GNP-Net factor income abroad = 516+6= $522 (million dollars)
Personal Income = National income + Government Transfer Payments – Corporate Income Taxes- Social Security Taxes-undistributed profits= 522+10-28-8-19= $477 (million dollars)
Disposable income = Personal Income- Personal Income Taxes = 477- 38 = $439 (million dollars)
