Q1) Given : (jnu past year) please cross check GDP at factor cost(FC) 10000
Net factor income from abroad 500
Net Indirect taxes(NIT) 1500
Government(non-investment) expenditure at market prices(MP) 1500
current account deficit on balance of payments 500
gross savings of government -300
Calculate :
1) GDP at MP : 11500
2) GNP at MP : 12000
3) if pvt consumption expenditure is .75 times the GNP at MP, calculate Gross investment :
4) Gross savings in the economy :
5) Gross pvt savings :
6) pvt sectors savings ratio out of its disposable income : 0.25
I got this for 3 soimmoi, how did you arrive at your answer:
3) Here T-G = -300 G = 1500
T = 1200
Y - cY - cT = 2100,
Public savings + Pvt savings + M-X = Investment
2100 -300 +500 = 2300
Soimmoi, I don't think your last answer is right. In that they are asking for the Average propensity to consume which is equal to S/ Disposable Income, .25 here is the MPS.. also do you know which year this question is taken from ??
besides the answer you previously got for GS is correct, its 1500, not 2000. you see if GS=2000 and Sp=1300,
now Sg=-300, so it doesn't add up.
Also we definitely don't take tax into account, it clearly says C is .75 times GNPmp.
PS-please take a look at the other thread !!!
a) GDPmp=GDPfc+net IT=11500
b)GNPmp=GDPmp+nfia=12000
c)C=.75(GNPmp)=9000
GDPmp=Cmp+I+Gmp+X-M
11500=9000+I+1500+(-1000)
I=2000
d)for S, what you did previously was correct.
another way is S=GNP-C-G+Rf=12000-9000-1500+0=1500
e)S=Sp+Sg=>Sp=1800
what about equating savings and investment, I can't seem to find fault in the method but something seems fishy as well. Could you tell if the method is right Rayee ?
Yes Rayee, but what I meant was we could use, S + Imports = I + Exports right ?. A deficit in the current account is balanced by a surplus in the savings account which shows that the equality above exists
