Solution

(a) Income method:
NDP at factor cost = Mixed Income of self-employed + Compensation of employees + Profit + Rent + Interest or (1 + 2 + 9 10 + 11)
= 400 + 500 + 350 + 100 + 150
= 1500
GNP at market price= NDP at factor cost + NFIA + NIT + Depreciation
= 1500 + (-20) + 100 + 120
= 1700
(b) Expenditure method:
GDP at market price = Private Final consumption Expenditure (C) + Gross Domestic Capital Formation (I) + Government Final consumption Expenditure (G) + Net Exports or {3 + (6 + 7) + 12 + 8}
= {900 + (120 + 280) + 450 + (-30)}
= 1720
GNP at market price = GDP at market price+ NFIA = 1720 + (-20) = 1700


OR


(a) Machine purchased for household work is a final consumption good because now it will be used finally and no further process of production or resale will occur.
(b) Machine purchased by a business firm is a final capital good as it is used as an investment in a firm and it will help in the production process. Now, it will be used finally and no further process of production or resale will occur.
(c) Machine purchased for resale purpose is an intermediate good as it will be further sold in the market.
