What will be an ideal response?
Personal income = National income - Retained earnings + Transfer payments + Interest on government bonds.
Substituting the table values:
Personal income = $11,200 - 560 + 2,200 + 300
= $13,140 billion.
Disposable personal income = Personal income - Personal taxes
= $13,140 - 1,400 = $11,740 billion.
