Calculate the GDP following the income method and expenditure method. In your answer you must show the equation you have used for the calculation. (5+5 = 10 marks).
Expenditure Method
GDP= Consumption Expenditure+Gross Investment+Government Purchases+Net Exports
where Net Exports = Exports - Imports
GDP= 5107+1850+2315+(954-982)
= 5107+1850+2315-28
= 9244
Hence, using expenditure method, GDP is 9244.
Income Method
GDP= Wages and Salaries+Mixed Income+Business/Corporate Profits+Net Indirect Taxes+Depreciation
where Net Indirect Taxes= Indirect Taxes-Government Subsidies to Firms
GDP= 6423+652+1256+(613-125)+425
= 6423+652+1256+488+425
= 9244
Hence, using income method, GDP is 9244.
