Compare and contrast the concepts of income and wealth. Are these measured as a stock or a flow? Explain

What will be an ideal response?


Wealth, or net worth, is the total value of what an entity owns minus what it owes. It is a stock measure because wealth is measured at a given point in time. Income is the sum of all wages, salaries, profits, interest and other forms of earnings for an entity over a given period of time. Because it is measured over a period of time, it is a flow measure.
