Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

The first eight items sum to national income, which equals $5817. Adding the statistical discrepancy to national income gives net national product, which is thus $5845. Adding consumption of fixed capital to that gives gross national product, which is thus 6727. Subtract net factor income, which equals factor income received from the rest of the world minus payments of factor income to the rest of the world ($331 - $623 = -$292), from gross national product equals gross domestic product, which is thus $7019.
