GNP may be defined as the sum of Gross Domestic Product and Net Factor
GNP = C+I+G+(X-M)+NFIA
from abroad for rendering factor services and income paid towards services
= GDP-Depreciation
Net National Product (NNP)
= GDP–Depreciation +NFIA
Or =GNP–Depreciation
Thus NNP is the actual addition to a year’s wealth and is the sum of consumption
expenditure, government expenditure, net foreign expenditure, and investment, less
depreciation, plus net income earned from abroad.
= C+I+G+(X–M)–Depreciation + NFIA
NNP at Factor Cost is the sum total of income earned by all the people of the nation,
within the national boundaries or abroad
It is also called National Income.
NNP at Factor Cost = NNP at Market Prices –Indirect Taxes+ Subsidies
Real and Nominal National Income
National income estimated at the prevailing prices, is called national income
at current prices or Nominal National Income, or Money National Income
or national income at current prices.
National income measured on the basis of some fixed price, say price
prevailing at a particular point of time, or by taking a base year, is known as
national income at constant prices, or Real National Income or national
income at constant prices.
Nominal GDP
Real GDP =
GDP deflator
•GDP deflator is the ratio of nominal GDP in a year to real GDP of that
year
•GDP deflator measures the change in prices between the base year
and the current year.
Per Capital Income and Personal Income
Per capita income is the average income of the people of a country in a
particular year.
National Income
Per Capita Income =
Total Population
Personal income is the total income received by the individuals of a country
from all sources before direct taxes in one year.
Expenditure Method
Product (or Output) Method
The market value of all the goods and services produced in the country by
all the firms across all industries are added up together.
Process
The economy is divided on basis of industries, such as agriculture,
fishing, mining and quarrying, large scale manufacturing, small scale
manufacturing, electricity, gas, etc.
The physical units of output are interpreted in money terms
The total values added up. (GDP at market price)
The indirect taxes are subtracted and the subsidies are added. (GDP at
factor cost)
Net value is calculated by subtracting depreciation from the total value
(NDP at factor cost).
Limitations of Product Method
Problem of Double Counting:
unclear distinction between a final and an intermediate product.
Not Applicable to Tertiary/service Sector:
This method is useful only when output can be measured in physical
terms
Exclusion of Non Marketed Products
E.g. outcome of hobby or self consumption
Self Consumption of Output
Producer may consume a part of his production.
Income Method
The net income received by all citizens of a country in a particular year, i.e. total of
net rents, net wages, net interest and net profits. (GDP at factor cost).
It is the income earned by the factors of production of a country.
Add the money sent by the citizens of the nation from abroad and deduct the
payments made to foreign nationals (individuals and firms) (GNP at factor cost) or
Gross National Income (GNI).
Process:
• Economy is divided on basis of income groups, such as wage/salary earners, rent
earners, profit earners etc.
• Income of all the groups is added, including income from abroad and
undistributed profits.
• The income earned by foreigners and transfer payments made in the year are
subtracted.
GNI = Rent + Wage + Interest +Profit + Net Income from Abroad- Transfer payments
Limitations of Income Method
Exclusion of non monetary income: Ignores the non-monetized section of
economic activities.
Economic activities that contribute to national income, but due to their non
monetary nature, they go unrecorded. For e.g. a farmer and family working in
are difficult to ascertain in money value. E.g. mother’s services to the family.
Expenditure Method of Measuring National
Income
The total expenditure incurred by the society in a particular year is added
together to get that year’s national income.
Components of Expenditure:
personal consumption expenditure
net domestic investment
government expenditure on goods and services, and
net foreign investment
Limitations
Ignores Barter System
Ignores Own Consumption
Affected by Inflation
Uses of National Income Data
National income is the most dependable indicator of a country’s economic health.
Difference between GDP and GNP indicates the contribution of net income earned
abroad
Necessary for Economic planning: useful aid in judging which sectors should be
given more emphasis
A measure of economic welfare.
higher aggregate production implies more and more goods and services being
available to people
Helps in determining the regional disparities, income inequality and level of poverty
in a country.
Helps in comparing the situations of economic growth in two different countries.
Difficulties in Measurement of National
Income
Non monetized transactions: Exchange of goods and services which have
no monetary payments, like services rendered out of love, courtesy or
kindness are difficult to include in the computation of national income.
Unorganized sector: Contribution of unorganized sector are unrecorded.
It is very difficult to identify income of those who do not pay income tax.
Multiple sources of earnings: Part time activity goes unrecognized and
such income is not included in national income.
Categorization of goods and services: In many cases categorization of
goods and services as intermediate and final product is not very clear.
Inadequate data: Lack of adequate and reliable data is a major hurdle to
the measurement of national income of underdeveloped countries.
Money supply aggregates in India
RBI calculates various concepts of money supply which are known as money supply
aggregates or measures of monetary aggregates.
M1: Currency with public, i.e. coins and notes + demand deposits of public with
banks. (very liquid assets)
It is also known as Narrow Money
M3: M2 + Term deposits of the public with banks+ “Other” deposits with RBI
It is also known as Broad Money.
M0: Currency in circulation+ Bankers’ deposits with RBI+ “Other” deposits with RBI.
It is also called Reserve Money.
Now RBI calculates only three of the above measures, i.e. M0, M1, and M3.
Inflation
Coulborn: it is a state of “too much money chasing too few goods”.
Two broad categories:
price inflation (generally called as inflation)
money inflation
Both have cause and effect relationship, i.e. money inflation leads to price inflation.
Money inflation is increase in the amount of currency in circulation. Which may be
due to:
Deficit financing : direct cause is printing of additional currency on demand of the
government to meet its needs.
Additional money supply through foreign exchange inflows in the form of capital,
such as foreign direct investment(FDI) and foreign institutional investment(FII),
tourism and other incomes from abroad.
Price inflation is a persistent increase in the general price level or a persistent decline in
the real income of people, i.e. decline in value of money.
Concepts of Inflation
Headline Inflation: measure of the total inflation within an economy
affected by the areas of the market which may experience sudden inflationary spikes such
as food or energy.
Hyperinflation: prices increase at such a speed that the value of money erodes drastically
This is also known as galloping inflation or runaway inflation.
Stagflation: a typical situation when stagnation and inflation coexist.
Suppressed inflation: temporarily keep prices under check - Diesel & petrol
Disinflation: a process of keeping a check on price rise by deliberate attempts.
Deflation: a state when prices fall persistently; just opposite to inflation
Inflationary Gap (Keynes): Excess of anticipated expenditure over available output at base
price.
Represents rise in price due to gap between effective supply and demand
When money income exceeds the supply of goods and services, a gap is created between
demand and supply resulting in inflation.
Inflation and Decision Making
Impact on Consumers
increase in any price upsets the home budget.
Impact on Producers (or Suppliers)
Producers as sellers are benefited by inflation;
higher the prices, higher are their profits.
when as buyers of raw material, they are adversely affected by inflation.
Impact on Government:
Government has to take the economy to higher levels of growth by encouraging
production and investment.
At the other end, has to see that taxpayers’ money is not eroded by
hyperinflation.
Thus government has to act as the balancing force between consumers and
sellers.
Measuring Inflation
A price index is a numerical measure designed to compare how the prices of
some class of goods and/or services, taken as a whole, differ between time
be equal to 100.)
Current Year' s Price
Price Index = 100

Control of Inflation
Inflation erodes the value of money and discourages savings
But zero inflation is undesirable
Need to control inflation
monetary policy measures (proposed by those who believed money
supply is the major culprit)
fiscal policy measures (proposed by Keynes and his followers).
Other measures
The government has to adopt an appropriate combination of these measures
after thorough examination of the causes of inflation
Monetary Policy Measures
Increasing the discount rate: The central bank rediscounts the eligible papers
25
Fiscal Policy Measures
The government may reduce public expenditure or increase public revenue to keep
a check on inflation
Reducing public expenditure
When government spends on activities like health, transport, communication,
etc., income of individuals increases; this in turn increases the aggregate
demand.
Therefore the reverse will also be true.
Increasing public revenue
Major source of government revenue is various types of taxes
Increase in income tax leaves less of disposable income in the hands of
consumers

Business Cycle
Business cycle is a periodic up and down in economic activities
Forms of Ownership/Business
Businesses may be organized in various forms, depending on their size,
nature and need for resources.
Ownership is always measured from the point of view of investors
(entrepreneurs). Ownership is in the hands of individuals, whether
independently, or as a small group, or in a large number, with/without any
investment from the government
Three broad categories of business organizations are:
Private sector (wholly owned by people, individually, or as a group),
Public sector (owned, managed and controlled by government) and
Joint sector (owned and managed jointly by individuals and government)
Definition of Company
In terms of the Companies Act, 2013 (Act No. 18 of 2013) a “company”
means a company incorporated under this Act or under any previous
company law [Section 2(20)].
In common law, a company is a “legal person” or “legal entity” separate
from, and capable of surviving beyond the lives of its members. However,
an association formed not for profit also acquires a corporate character and
falls within the meaning of a company by reason of a license issued under
Section 8(1) of the Act.
