If purchases of new capital goods are $90 billion, then purchases of new residential housing are equal to $_______ billion.
GDP = Private final Consumption expenditure ( Durable goods+ Non-durable goods + Services) + Government purchases+ Investment expenditure ( Fixed investment + Inventory investment) + Net exports ( Exports - imports)
= 220+ 400+ 700+ 500+ 120+20 +100-150
= 1910
GDP = $1910 billion
NDP at Market price = GDP at market price - Capital Consumption allowance
= 1910- 20
= 1890
NDP at factor cost = NDP at market price - Indirect business taxes
= 1890 - 80
= 1810
NDP = $1810 billion.
National income = NDP + Net factor income from abroad ( Income earned from the rest of the world - income earned by the rest of the world)
= 1810+ 40-200
= 1650
National income = $1650 billion
Personal income = Private income( National income + Transfer payments) - Undistributed profits - Corporation taxes
= 1650 + 50 - 20- 30
= 1650
Personal income =$1650 billion
Disposable income = Personal income - Personal taxes
= 1650- 80
= 1570
Disposable income = $1570 billion
Net exports = Exports - Imports
= 100-150
= -50
Net exports = -$50 billion.
The sum of the purchases of newly produced capital goods and the purchases of new residential housing is referred as Fixed investment.
Purchase of new residential housing = Fixed investment - Purchase of new capital good
= 120 - 90
= $30 billion.
If purchases of new capital goods are $90 billion, then purchases of new residential housing are equal to $ 30. billion
