Macro Economics: - Macroeconomics is the study of aggregate economic variables of an economy.

Consumption goods:- Are those which are bought by consumers as final or ultimate goods to satisfy their wants.
Eg: Durable goods car, television, radio etc.
Non-durable goods and services like fruit, oil, milk, vegetable etc.
Semi durable goods such as crockery etc.

Capital goods – capital goods are those final goods, which are used and help in the process of production of other goods and services. E.g.: plant, machinery etc.

Final goods: Are those goods, which are used either for final consumption or for investment. It includes final consumer goods and final production goods. They are not meant for resale. So, no value is added to these goods. Their value is included in the national income.

Intermediate goods intermediate goods are those goods, which are used either for resale or for further production. Example for intermediate good is- milk used by a tea shop for selling tea.

Stock : - Quantity of an economic variable which is measured at a particular point of time. Stock has no time dimension. Stock is static concept. Eg: wealth, water in a tank. 

Flow : Flow is that quantity of an economic variable, which is measured during the period of time.
Flow has time dimension- like per hr, per day etc.
Flow is a dynamic concept.
Eg: Investment, water in a stream.

Investment: Investment is the net addition made to the existing stock of capital.

Net Investment = Gross investment – depreciation.

Depreciation: - depreciation refers to fall in the value of fixed assets due to normal wear and tear, passage of time and expected obsolescence. Circular flow in a two sector economy.

Producers (firms) and households are the constituents in a two sectors economy. Households give factors of production to firm and firms in turn supply goods and services to households.

Gross Domestic product at market price

It is the money value of all final goods and services produced during an accounting year with in the domestic territory of a country.

Gross National product at market price:

It is a money value of all final goods and services produced by a country during an accounting year including net factor income from abroad.

Net factor income from abroad:

Difference between the factor incomes earned by our residents from abroad and factor income earned by non-residents with in our country.
Components of Net factor income from abroad

• Net compensation of employees
• Net income from property and entrepreneurship (other than retained earnings of resident companies of abroad)
• Net retained earnings of resident companies abroad

Formulas

• NNP Mp = GNP mp - depreciation

• NDP Mp = GDPmp - depreciation 

• NDP _Fc = NDP _mp – Net indirect taxes (indirect tax – subsidies)

• GDP _Fc = NDP _fc + depreciation

• NNP _Fc = GDP _mp - depreciation + Net factor income from abroad – Net indirect taxes

• (NNP _FC is the sum total of factor income earned by normal residents of a country during the accounting year)

• NNP fc = NDP fc + Net factor income from abroad.

Concept of domestic (economic) territory
Domestic territory is a geographical territory administered by a government within which persons, goods and capital circulate freely. (Areas of operation generating domestic income, freedom of circulation of persons, goods and capital)

Scope identified as
*Political frontiers including territorial waters and air space.
*Embassies, consulates, military bases etc. located abroad but including those locates within the political frontiers.
*Ships, aircrafts etc., operated by the residents between two or more countries.
*Fishing vessels, oil and natural gas rigs etc. operated by the residents in the international waters or other areas over which the country enjoys the exclusive rights or jurisdiction.

Resident (normal resident):-
Normal resident is a person or an institution who ordinarily resides in that country and whose center of economic interest lies in that country.
(The Centre of economic interest implies :-( 1) the resident lives or is located within the economic territory. (2) The resident carries out the basic economic activities of earnings, spending and accumulation from that location 3. His center of interest lies in that country.

Relation between national product and Domestic product.
Domestic product concept is based on the production units located within domestic (economic) territory, operated both by residents and non-residents.
National product concept based on resident and includes their contribution to production both within and outside the economic territory.
National product = Domestic product + Residents contribution to production outside the economic territory (Factor income from abroad) - Non- resident contribution to production inside the economic territory (Factor income to abroad)

Methods of calculation of national income
I - PRODUCT METHOD (Value added method):
• Sales + change in stock = value of output
• Change in stock = closing stock – opening stock
• Value of output - Intermediate consumption = Gross value added (GDPMp)
• NNP Fc (N.I) = GDPMp (-) consumption of fixed capital (depreciation) (+) Net factor income from abroad ( -) Net indirect tax.

Income method:
1. Compensation of employees.
2. Operating surplus. (Image 4)
3. Mixed income of self-employed.
• NDP fc = (1) + (2) + (3)
• NNP fc = NDP fc (+) Net factor income from abroad
• GNP mp = NDP fc + consumption of fixed capital + Net indirect tax (Indirect tax – subsidy)

Expenditure method:
1. Government final consumption expenditure.
2. Private final consumption expenditure.
3. Net Export.
NNP fc = GDPmp - consumption of fixed capital + NFIA- Net indirect taxes
Note: If capital formation is given as Net domestic capital formation we arrive at NDPmp.
Capital formation = Investment

CALCULATION OF NATIONAL DISPOSABLE INCOME, PRIVATE INCOME,
PERSONAL INCOME AND PERSONAL DISPOSABLE INCOME

National Disposable

income

Private Income includes factor

income as well as Transfer

income (Earned income + Unearned income)

It is the income from all the sources (Earned Income as well as transfer payment from abroad) available to resident of a country for consumption expenditure or saving during a year. NNPFC + Net Indirect tax + Net current transfer from abroad =Net National disposable income. (Gross National Disposable Income includes depreciation) Factor income from net domestic product accruing to private sector includes income from enterprises owned and controlled by the private individual.

Excludes:-
1. Property and entrepreneurial income of the Gov. departmental enterprise
2. Savings of the Non-departmental Enterprise.
Factor Income from NDP Accruing to private sector = NDPFC (-) income from properly entrepreneurship accruing to the govt departmental Enterprises (-) savings of Non departmental enterprises.

Private Income Includes
* Factor income from net domestic product accruing to private sector.
+ Net factor income from abroad
+ Interest on National Debt
+ Current transfer from Govt. + Current transfer from rest of the world.
PI is the income Actually received by the individuals and households from all sources in the form of factor income and current transfers.
Personal income = Private
Income (-) corporation tax
(-) Corporate Savings OR Undistributed profits

Personal disposable income
Personal income (-) Direct Personal tax (-) Miscellaneous Receipts of the govt.
Administrative department (fees and fines paid by house hold.)

Question. When will the domestic income be greater than the national income?

Ans: When the net factor income from abroad is negative.

Question. What is national disposable income?

Ans: It is the income, which is available to the whole economy for spending or disposal NNP Mp + net current transfers from abroad = NDI

Question. What must be added to domestic factor income to obtain national income?

Ans: Net factor income from abroad.

Question. Explain the meaning of non-market activities

Ans: Non marketing activities refer to acquiring of many final goods and services not through regular market transactions. E.g. vegetable grown in the backyard of the house.

Question. Define nominal GNP

Ans: GNP measured in terms of current market prices is called nominal GNP.

Question. Define Real GNP.

Ans: GNP computed at constant prices (base year price) is called real GNP.

Question. Meaning of real flow.

Ans: It refers to the flow of goods and services between different sectors of the economy. Eg. Flow of factor services from household to firm and flow of goods and services from firm to household.

Question. Define money flow.

It refers to the flow of money between different sectors of the economy such as firm, household etc. Eg. Flow of factor income from firm to house hold and consumption expenditure from house hold to firm.

Question. Distinguish between GDPMp and GNP FC

Ans: The difference between both arise due to (1) Net factor income from abroad. and 2) Net indirect taxes. In GDPMp Net factor income from abroad is not included but it includes net indirect taxes.
GNP FC = GDPMp + net factor income from abroad – net indirect taxes

Question. Distinguish between personal income and private income

Ans: Personal income: -It is the sum total of earned income and transfer incomes received by persons from all sources within and outside the country.

Personal income = private income – corporate tax –corporate savings (undistributed profit) Private income consists of factor income and transfer income received from all sources by private sectors within and outside the country.

Question. Distinguish between nominal GNP and real GNP

Ans: Nominal GNP is measured at current prices. Since this aggregate measures the value of goods and services at current year prices, GNP will change when volume of product changes or price changes or when both changes.

Real GNP is computed at the constant prices. Under real GNP, value is expressed in terms of prices prevailing in the base year. This measure takes only quantity changes. Real GNP is the indicator of real income level in the economy.

Question. Explain the main steps involved in measuring national income through product method

Ans:
a) Classify the producing units into industrial sectors like primary, secondary and tertiary sectors.
b) Estimate the net value added at the factor cost.
c) Estimate value of output by sales + change in stock
d) Estimate gross value added by value of output – intermediate consumption
e) Deduct depreciation and net indirect tax from gross value added at market price to arrive at net value added at factor cost = NDP Fc
f) Add net factor income received from abroad to NDP Fc to obtain NNP FC which is national income

Question. Explain the steps involved in calculation of national income through income method
Ans:
a) Classify the producing enterprises into industrial sectors like primary, secondary and tertiary.
b) Estimate the following factor income paid out by the producing units in each sector i.e.
*Compensation of employees
*Operating surplus
*Mixed income of self employed
c) Take the sum of the factor income by all the industrial sectors to arrive at the NDP Fc (Which is called domestic income)
d) Add net factor income from abroad to the net domestic product at factor cost to arrive at the net national product at factor cost.

Question. Explain the main steps involved in measuring national income through expenditure method.
Ans:
a) Classify the economic units incurring final expenditure into distant groups like households, government, firms etc.
b) .Estimate the following expenditure on final products by all economic units
· Private final consumption expenditure
· Government final consumption expenditure
· Gross domestic capital formation
· Net export
(Sum total of above gives GDPMp)
c) Deduct depreciation, net indirect taxes to get NDP Fc
d) Add net factor income from abroad to NDP Fc to arrive at NNP FC.

Question. What are the precautions to be taken while calculating national income through product method (value added method)
Ans:
a) Avoid double counting of production, take only value added by each production unit.
b) The output produced for self-consumption to be included
c) The sale & purchase of second hand goods should not be included.
d) Value of intermediate consumption should not be included
e) The value of services rendered in sales must be included.

Question. Precautions to be taken while calculating national income through income method.
Ans:
a) Income from owner occupied house to be included.
b) Wages & salaries in cash and kind both to be included.
c) Transfer income should not be included
d) Interest on loans taken for production only to be included. Interest on loan taken for consumption expenditure is non-factor income and so not included.

Question. Precautions to be taken while calculations N.I under expenditure method.
Ans:
a) Avoid double counting of expenditure by not including expenditure on intermediate product
b) Transfer expenditure not to be included
c) Expenditure on purchase of second hand goods not to be included.

Question. Write down the limitations of using GDP as an index of welfare of a country
Ans:
1) The national income figures give no indications of the population, skill and resources of the country. A country may be having high national income but it may be consumed by the increasing population, so that the level of people’s wellbeing or welfare standard of living remains low.
2) High N. I may be due to greater area of the country or due to the concentration of
some resources in out particular country.
3) National income does not consider the level of prices of the country. People may be having income but may not be able to enjoy high standard of living due to high prices.
4) High N. I may be due to the large contribution made by a few industrialists
5) Level of unemployment is not taken into account.
6) National income does not care to reduce ecological degradation. Due to excess of economic activity which leads to ecological degradation reduces the welfare of the people.
Hence GNP and economic welfare are not positively related. Income in GNP does not bring about increase in economic welfare.

Question. ‘Machine purchased is always a final good’ do you agree? Give reason for your answer
Ans:
Whether machine is a final good or it depends on how it is being used (end use). If machine is bought by a household, then it is a final good. If machine is bought by a firm for its own use, then also it is a final good. If the machine is bought by a firm for resale then it is an intermediate good.

Question. What is double counting? How can it be avoided?
Ans:
Counting the value of commodities at every stage of production more than one time is called double counting.
It can be avoided by
a) taking value added method in the calculation of the national income.
b) By taking the value of final commodity only while calculating N.I

Question. State whether following is true or false. Give reason for your answer.
Ans:
a) Capital formation is a flow
True, because it is measured over a period of time.
b) Bread is always a consumer good.
False, it depends upon the end use of bread. When it is purchased by a household it is a consumer good. When purchased by restaurant for making sandwich, it is an intermediate (producer) good.
c) Nominal GDP can never be less that real GDP
False. Nominal GDP can be less than the real GDP when the prices in the base year is more than the current year.
d) Gross domestic capital formation is always greater than gross fixed capital formation.
False, gross domestic capital formation can be less than gross fixed capital formation if change in stock is negative.

Question. 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 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.

Question. How will you treat the following while estimating domestic product of India?
Ans:
a) Rent received by resident Indian from his property in Singapore.
No, it will not be included in domestic product as this income is earned outside the economic territory of India.
b) Salaries of Indians working in Japanese Embassy in India
It will not be included in domestic product of India as embassy of Japan is not a part of economic territory of India.
c) Profits earned by branch of American bank in India.
Yes, it is included as part of domestic product since the branch of American bank is located within the economic territory of India.
d) Salaries paid to Koreans working in the Indian embassy in Korea
Yes, it will be part of domestic product of India because the income is earned within the economic territory of India. Indian embassy in Korea is a part of economic territory of India.

Question. How are the following treated in estimating national income from expenditure method? Give reason.
Ans:
a) Purchase of new car by a household: purchase of 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 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 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.

Question. Are the following item included in the estimating a country‘s national income? Give reason.
Ans:
1) Free cloth given to workers: free cloth given to worker is a part of wages in kind i.e. compensation to employee such compensation to employee is paid for the productive services in the economy, it is included in the national income.
2) Commission paid to dealer in old car: commission paid to dealer in old car is included inthe  estimation of national income because it is the income of the dealer for his productive services to various parties.
3) Growing vegetable in a kitchen garden of the house: growing vegetable in a kitchen garden of the house amount to production, though not for sale for self-consumption. It is included in the national income because it adds to the production of goods.

NATIONAL INCOME – NUMERICALS
1. Calculate Value Added at factor cost from the following.
      ITEMS                              Rs. CRORES
a. Purchase of raw materials    30
b. Depreciation                         12
c. Sales                                     200
d. Excise tax                             20
e. Opening stock                      15
f. Intermediate consumption    48
g. Closing stock                       10

Ans: Sales + Δ in 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

3. Calculate Gross Domestic Product at Market Price by
(a) Production Method and (b) Income Method
ITEMS                                              Rs. 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)
InCcoommpee nmseattihoond o f 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

4. Calculate Net National Disposable Income from the following data.
ITEMS                                                                     Rs. crores

d. Consumption of fixed capital                                  100
e. Net current transfers from abroad                           50

Ans: NNDI = GDP MP – consumption of fixed capital + Net FIFA + Net current transfer
from abroad
= 1000- 100 + 50 + (-20)
= 880 + 50 = 930 crores

5. Calculate Gross National Disposable Income from the following.
          ITEMS                                                           Rs. crores

Ans: National Income (NNP FC)
Expenditure Method
(1) + (2) + (3) + (4) = NDP MP
210 + 50 + 40 + (-5) = 295
NNP FC = NDP MP + factor Income from abroad – net Indirect tax ( Indirect tax – subsidy)
295 + 3 – (30 -5)
295 + 3 – 25
= 298 – 25 = 273
NNP FC= 273 crores
Income method:
(5) + (6) + (7) + (8) + (11) + (15)
170 + 10 + 45 + 20 + 10 + 15
= 270 (NDP FC)
NDP FC = NDP FC + FIFA
= 270 + 3= 273 crores

7. FROM THE FOLLOWING DATA CALCULATE
(a) NATIONAL INCOME            (b) PERSONAL DISPOSIBLE INCOME.

12. Net indirect tax                                                 160
13. Direct taxes paid by houses hold’s                    120
14. Employers contribution to social security scheme.  60

Ans: NNP FC (N. I) = (5) + (9) + (4) + (1) + (2)
1000 + 250+ 800 + 500 + 200
NDP FC = 2750 crores
NNP FC = NDP FC + (7)
= 2750 + (-50)
NNP Fc = 2700 crores
PDI = (3) – (8) – (11) – (13)
2000 – 150 – 100 -120
PDI = 2000 – 370 = 1630 crores

8. CALCULATE NATIONAL INCOME AND GROSS NATIONAL DISPOSABLE
INCOME FROM THE FOLLOWING DATA.
Net indirect tax                                          05
Net domestic fixed capital formation        100
Net exports                                           (-) 20
Gov.: final consumption expenditure        200
Net current transfer from abroad              15
Private final consumption expenditure     600
Change in stock                                       10
Net factor from abroad                              05
Gross domestic fixed capital formation     125

Ans: National Income (NNP FC)
= (4) + (6) + (2) + (7) + (3) = NDP MP
= 200 + 600 + 100 + 10 + (-20)
= 910 -20 = 890
NDP MP = 890 crores
NNP FC = NDP MP + (8) – (1)
= 890 + 5 -5
NNP FC = 890
Depreciation = (9) – (2)
