Explanation of Solution

An individual's output and income are the total goods manufactured or the total work performed by the individual, and the income is the wages received for the work done. At the same time, an economy's output and income is the aggregate of the output and income of each person in a community or a country. Microeconomics is the analysis of a person's production, and macroeconomics is called the study of the economy as a whole. Furthermore, macroeconomics is used to calculate an economy's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). GDP is the complete market value of all goods and a service generated at a moment in a nation and is used for measuring economic growth, living standards and business cycles.
