Explanation / Answer

(a)

GDP = Personal consumption expenditure + Net private domestic investment + Government purchases + Exports of goods & services - Imports of goods & services

= 438.2 + 104.2 + 188.8 + 63.4 - 33

= 761.6 ($ billion)

(b)

NDP = GDP - Depreciation (Which is also known as Consumption of fixed capital)

= 761.6 - 23.6

= 738 ($ billion)

(c)

NI ($ billion) = NDP + Net foreign factor income (Factor income from abroad – factor income to abroad)

= 738 + 4.4

= 742.2 ($ billion)
