Refer to Table 1 The value of gross domestic product in billions of dollars is GDP = C + I + G + (X – M) =GDP = 1650 + 325 + 550 + 350 = 2875

13. Chapter 2 - Discussion Table 2.

14. 1, Refer to Table 2. The value for GDP in billions of dollars is GDP = C + I + G + x - M I = Gross investment = Net investment + depreciation = 150 + 30 = 180GDP = 500 + 180 + 90 + 60 – 40 = 790 2. Refer to Table 2, The value for GNP in billions of dollars is GNP = GDP + receipts of factors of production from the rest of the world – payments of factors of production to the rest of the world = 790 + 20 – 40 = 770

15. 3. Refer to Table 2. The value for NNP in billions of dollars is NNP= GNP – Depreciation = 770 – 30 = 740 4. Refer to Table 2, The value for national income in billions of dollars is National Income = NNP – Indirect taxes + subsidies National income = 740 – 0 + 0 = 740

16. 5. Refer to Table 2. The value for PI in billions of dollars is PI = NI – amount of income not going to the households + dividends = 740 – 30 + 10 = 760 6. Refer to Table 2, The value for DPI in billions of dollars is DPI = PI – Personal taxes DPI = 760 – 90 = 670

18. 1, Refer to Table 3. The value for GDP in millions of dollars is GDP = C + I + G + x - M C = DPI - Saving = 3250 - 900 = 2350Gross investment = net investment + depreciation = 1785 + 775 = 2560GDP = 2350 +2560 +3370 +960 – 350 = 8890 2. Refer to Table 3, The value for GNP in millions of dollars is GNP = GDP + Net payments of factor income to the rest of the world = 8890 + (- 890) = 8890 – 890 = 8000
