Chapter 8: Q.21 (page 188)

Suppose that U.S. consumption spending is \(13 trillion, gross private domestic investment is \)3.5 trillion, government spending is \(4 trillion, and net exports are \)0.5 trillion. If interest income is \(1 trillion, depreciation is \)0.5 trillion, wages are \(12 trillion, and rental income is \)0.75 trillion, what is the net domestic product?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The net domestic product is$19.5trillion.

Step by step solution

01

Given information 

U.S. consumer spending is $13 trillion.

Gross private domestic investment is $3.5 trillion.

Government spending is $4 trillion.

Net exports are $0.5 trillion.

Interest income is $1 trillion

Depreciation is $0.5 trillion.

Wages are $12 trillion.

Rental income is $0.75 trillion.

02

Explanation

First calculating the GDP, we find the net domestic product.

GDP = Consumption (C) + Investment (I) + Government spending (G)

+ Net exports (X-M)

Now,

GDP =13+3.5+4+(-0.5)=20

Depreciation=$0.5trillion

Calculating net domestic product,

NDP = gross domestic product (GDP) - depreciation

NDP = 20-0.5=19.5

Hence the net domestic product is $19.5trillion.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Explain what happens to the official measure of GDP in each of the following situations.

a. Air quality improves significantly throughout the United States, but there are no effects on aggregate production or on market prices of final goods and services.

b. The U.S. government spends considerably less on antipollution efforts this year than it did in recent years.

c. The quality of cancer treatments increases, so patients undergo fewer treatments, which hospitals continue to provide at the same price per treatment as before.

If market tuition rates for college courses were used as implicit dollar valuations of "free" Internet courses for inclusion in GDP, what assumption would be adopted in comparing the "free" courses with the tuition-based courses? (Hint: Are online college courses always of equal quality compared with regular college courses?)

Suppose that in 2019, geologists discover large reserves of oil under the tundra in Alaska. These new reserves have a market value estimated at \(50 billion at current oil prices. Oil companies spend \)1 billion to hire workers and move and position equipment to begin exploratory pumping during that same year. In the process of loading some of the oil onto tankers at a port, one company accidentally spills some of the oil into a bay and by the end of the year pays $1 billion to other companies to clean it up. The oil spill kills thousands of birds, seals, and other wildlife. What was the combined effect of these events on GDP for this year? (Hint: Which transactions took place in the markets for final goods and services?) In what ways, if any, does the effect on GDP reflect a loss in national welfare?

Consider the table below for the economy of a nation whose residents produce five final goods.

In the table for Problem 8-14, if 2020 is the base year, what is the price index for 2019? (Round decimal fractions to the nearest tenth.)
