(c) What is the value of nominal GDP measured by the income approach?
Solution
(a) Value of Nominal GDP by expenditure approach = Consumption + Govt.spending + Investment + Exports - Imports
=> 2500 + 800+600 + 1200 - 1100
=> 4000
(c) Value of Nominal GDP by the income approach
=National Income + Sales Tax+ Depreciation (or) capital consumption allowance + Net Factor Income
= (Employee Income +Rent+Interest +Profits) + Sales Tax+ Depreciation + Net Factor Income
= (2800+ 150+700) + 150+200 => 4000
(b) Net Domestic Income = GDP - Depreciation
=> 4000 - 200 i.e., 3800
