What's not included in GDP: Used or Second Hand Goods, Intermediate Goods- require further processing before they are ready for final use, Gifts or Transfer Payments (public vs private) : no output produced and recipients don't contribute to current production, Public : welfare social security or Private: scholarship, Unreported Business Activities (tips), Illegal Activities (drugs), Stocks and Bonds (no output produced), Non Market Activity (volunteer)
Expenditure approach: GDP = C (67% of economy, personal consumption expenditures- purchase of finished goods and services) + IG (gross private domestic investment- new factory equipment, construction of housing, unsold inventory of products built in a year, factory equipment maintenance) + G (government spending- government purchases of goods and services) + XN (net exports; exports - imports)
Net Domestic Product = GDP - Depreciation
Net National Product = GNP - Depreciation
GNP = GDP + Net Foreign Factor Payment
Gross Private Domestic Investment = Net Private Domestic Investment + Depreciation
-Budget: government spends money into two ways -1) government purchases of goods and services 2) government transfer payments
Government gets money from: Households, firms, foreign nations
If total govt spending is more tax than free revenue, it is considered a Deficit.

If total govt spending is less tax than free revenue, it is considered a Surplus.

    Hey, I noticed I didn't see that you didn't have all the formulas. You are missing trade formula with what is considered deficit or surplus, budget formula with how its considered a deficit or surplus. National Income formula, and disposable personal income. You could also put that if in the problem they can find IG then they should use Net Private Domestic Investment + Depreciation.

Every choice has a cost. (Trade -Off) 3) everyone’s goal is to make choices that maximize satisfaction. Everyone acts in own “self-interest” 4) everyone makes decisions by comparing marginal costs and marginal benefits of every choice. 5) real-life situations can be explained and analyzed through simplified models and graphs C...

Unit 2

Real GDP: Price x Quantity ; value of output produced in constant based year prices that is adjusted for inflation. Can increase from year to year only if output increases. Nominal GDP: Price x Quantity ; value of output produced in current year prices. Can increase from year to year if either prices or output increases In the base year, current prices is equal to base year (constant) prices In years after the base year, nominal GDP exceeds real GDP In years before the base year, real GDP exceeds nominal GDP GDP Inflator: a price index used to adjust from nominal to real GDP In the base year, the GDP deflator = 100 For years after the base year, GDP Deflator > 100 For years before the base year, GDP Deflator < 100 Deflator Formula: new-old/old GDP Deflator = (nominal GDP/real GDP x 100) Inflation: a general rise in the price level (new[price index]-old[price index] /old x 100) will result in percentage Consumer Price Index: measures cost of ...
