Gross Domestic Product
Instructions:
1.
Questions in Section I: When answering these questions, students should explain, in
detail, their answers. If not, they will receive only partial credit.
2.
Question in Section II: When answering these questions, students must show all
calculations. If not, they will receive only partial credit. Section I: Which of the following transactions would count in GDP? Explain each option
(A-F), in detail: A. Becky buys a new sweater to wear this winter. Becky buying a new sweater would count
in GDP. This is because buying the sweater represents a part of a household’s
consumption expenditure. Becky’s purchase contributes to the economy’s output and is a
part of consumer spending which would be included in GDP.
B. Katelyn receives a Social Security check. Katelyn receiving a Social Security check
would not count in GDP. This is because the check is a transfer payment from the
government to an individual and does not represent any contribution or economic
activity in the nation’s output. C. Adrien gives his daughter $50 for her birthday. Adrien giving his daughter $50 would not
count in GDP. This would not count in GDP because this scenario also involves a
transfer-type payment and does not involve any purchasing of a good or service that
contributes to production. D. Carolyn sells $1,000 of Google stock. This transaction does not count in GDP. The
purchasing and selling of stocks do not count because buying and selling stock represents
the transfer of ownership of an existing asset and does not have anything to do with
economic activity within production. E. Arya buys a new car. Arya buying a new car would indeed count in GDP. This is
because her buying a new car represents a consumption expenditure on a durable good
and adds to the economy’s output. F. Destiny buys a used car. Destiny buying a used car would not count in GDP. Buying a
used car involves a transaction between two individuals and does not have anything to do
with production of new goods or services within the current period so therefore does not
count in GDP. Section II. Using the following national income accounting data, compute (a) GDP, (b) NDP, and (c)
NI. All figures are in billions. Show all calculations, not just the final number.
A.
GDP calculation: 219.1+ 59.4 + 11.8+ 52.1 + (17.8 – 16.5) = $343.7 Billion B.
NPD calculation: 343.7 – 11.8 = $331.9 Billion C.
NI calculation: 331.9 + 2.2 = $334.1 Billion
