Given data (in million N):

  • Consumption expenditure (C) = 50
  • Government expenditure (G) = 27.50
  • Investment expenditure (I) = 20.75
  • Exports (X) = 22.50
  • Imports (M) = 21.75
  • Taxes (T) = 9.00
  • Capital consumption (depreciation) (D) = 16.20
  • General subsidy (S) = 0.75
  • Net factor income from abroad (NFIA) = 20.25
  • Total Population = 100 million people

a. GDP at market prices and factor cost

  1. Calculate GDP at Market Prices (GDPMPGDP_{MP}).

    GDPMP=C+G+I+(X−M)GDP_{MP} = C + G + I + (X - M) GDPMP=50+27.50+20.75+(22.50−21.75)GDP_{MP} = 50 + 27.50 + 20.75 + (22.50 - 21.75) GDPMP=50+27.50+20.75+0.75GDP_{MP} = 50 + 27.50 + 20.75 + 0.75 GDPMP=99 million NGDP_{MP} = 99 \text{ million N}
  2. Calculate GDP at Factor Cost (GDPFCGDP_{FC}).

    GDPFC=GDPMP−Taxes+SubsidiesGDP_{FC} = GDP_{MP} - \text{Taxes} + \text{Subsidies} GDPFC=99−9.00+0.75GDP_{FC} = 99 - 9.00 + 0.75 GDPFC=90.75 million NGDP_{FC} = 90.75 \text{ million N}
    • GDP at market prices: 99 million N\boxed{\text{99 million N}}
    • GDP at factor cost: 90.75 million N\boxed{\text{90.75 million N}}

    b. GNP at market prices and factor cost

  3. Calculate GNP at Market Prices (GNPMPGNP_{MP}).

    GNPMP=GDPMP+NFIAGNP_{MP} = GDP_{MP} + NFIA GNPMP=99+20.25GNP_{MP} = 99 + 20.25 GNPMP=119.25 million NGNP_{MP} = 119.25 \text{ million N}
  4. Calculate GNP at Factor Cost (GNPFCGNP_{FC}).

    GNPFC=GDPFC+NFIAGNP_{FC} = GDP_{FC} + NFIA GNPFC=90.75+20.25GNP_{FC} = 90.75 + 20.25 GNPFC=111 million NGNP_{FC} = 111 \text{ million N}
    • GNP at market prices: 119.25 million N\boxed{\text{119.25 million N}}
    • GNP at factor cost: 111 million N\boxed{\text{111 million N}}

    c. NNP at market prices and factor cost

  5. Calculate NNP at Market Prices (NNPMPNNP_{MP}).

    NNPMP=GNPMP−DepreciationNNP_{MP} = GNP_{MP} - \text{Depreciation} NNPMP=119.25−16.20NNP_{MP} = 119.25 - 16.20 NNPMP=103.05 million NNNP_{MP} = 103.05 \text{ million N}
  6. Calculate NNP at Factor Cost (NNPFCNNP_{FC}).

    NNPFC=GNPFC−DepreciationNNP_{FC} = GNP_{FC} - \text{Depreciation} NNPFC=111−16.20NNP_{FC} = 111 - 16.20 NNPFC=94.80 million NNNP_{FC} = 94.80 \text{ million N}
    • NNP at market prices: 103.05 million N\boxed{\text{103.05 million N}}
    • NNP at factor cost: 94.80 million N\boxed{\text{94.80 million N}}

    d. Per capita income

  7. Calculate Per Capita Income.

    Per Capita Income=NNPFCTotal Population\text{Per Capita Income} = \frac{NNP_{FC}}{\text{Total Population}} Per Capita Income=94.80 million N100 million people\text{Per Capita Income} = \frac{94.80 \text{ million N}}{100 \text{ million people}} Per Capita Income=0.948 N per person\text{Per Capita Income} = 0.948 \text{ N per person}
    • Per capita income: 0.948 N\boxed{\text{0.948 N}}

    e. State the method used.

  8. Identify the method.

    The primary method used for calculating GDP is the Expenditure Method. Subsequent calculations involve adjustments for net factor income from abroad, depreciation, and net indirect taxes.

    • Method used: Expenditure Method

    2. Consumption Function and Macroeconomic Aggregates

    Given:

    • Consumption function: C=500+0.9YC = 500 + 0.9Y
    • Planned Investment (I) = 600

    a. If national income is N3,000, calculate Consumption and Savings.

  9. Calculate Consumption (C).

    C=500+0.9YC = 500 + 0.9Y C=500+0.9(3000)C = 500 + 0.9(3000) C=500+2700C = 500 + 2700 C=3200C = 3200
  10. Calculate Savings (S).

    S=Y−CS = Y - C S=3000−3200S = 3000 - 3200 S=−200S = -200
    • Consumption: N3,200\boxed{\text{N3,200}}
    • Savings: -N200\boxed{\text{-N200}}

    b. If national income increases from N3,000 to N4,000 and consumption increases from N2,600 to N3,200, calculate:

  11. Calculate Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC).

    ΔY=4000−3000=1000\Delta Y = 4000 - 3000 = 1000 ΔC=3200−2600=600\Delta C = 3200 - 2600 = 600 MPC=ΔCΔYMPC = \frac{\Delta C}{\Delta Y} MPC=6001000MPC = \frac{600}{1000} MPC=0.6MPC = 0.6
  12. Calculate Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS).

    MPS=1−MPCMPS = 1 - MPC MPS=1−0.6MPS = 1 - 0.6 MPS=0.4MPS = 0.4
    • Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC): 0.6\boxed{0.6}
    • Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS): 0.4\boxed{0.4}

    c. Determine the break-even level of income.

  13. Calculate the break-even level of income (where Y=CY=C).

    Y=CY = C Y=500+0.9YY = 500 + 0.9Y Y−0.9Y=500Y - 0.9Y = 500 0.1Y=5000.1Y = 500 Y=5000.1Y = \frac{500}{0.1} Y=5000Y = 5000
    • Break-even level of income: N5,000\boxed{\text{N5,000}}

    d. Determine the equilibrium level of national income in the economy.

  14. Calculate the equilibrium level of national income (where Y=C+IY = C + I).

    Y=C+IY = C + I Y=(500+0.9Y)+600Y = (500 + 0.9Y) + 600 Y=1100+0.9YY = 1100 + 0.9Y Y−0.9Y=1100Y - 0.9Y = 1100 0.1Y=11000.1Y = 1100 Y=11000.1Y = \frac{1100}{0.1} Y=11000Y = 11000
    • Equilibrium level of national income: N11,000\boxed{\text{N11,000}}
