Use the table to answer the questions. Assume firms pay all profits out to resource owners, there is no depreciation, and there are no taxes. 2010 Consumption spending (C) $350 Rent $100 Profit $175 Investment spending (I) $75 Interest $50 Government spending (G) $125 Net exports (NX) $10 Employee compensation $ Enter the value of GDP in 2010. Use the factor income approach to calculate employee compensation in 2010.

Suppose you are given the following data for a particular economy (unit: Millions of Euros):Gross National Income mp (GNImp) =1650Investment (I) = 220(Iliq) Net investment = 210Private consumption(C) =1100Net External Income (NEI) = 0Net Indirect Taxes (NIT) = 231Public Spending (G) = 363 Calculate: a) Balance of Goods and Services or Net Exports (NX) and Amortizations/Depreciations (A). b) Net National Product at Base Prices (NNPbp) and Net Domestic Product at Base Prices (NDPbp)

1. Calculate GDP using the expenditures approach for year 1 and year 2. Explain your rationale with numbers. In other words, you must show the following; ▪ What is Personal Consumption Expenditures in year 1 and 2 ▪ What is Gross Private Domestic Investment in year 1 and 2 ▪ What is Government Purchases of Goods and Services in year 1 and year 2 What is Net Exports in year 1 and year 2 ▪ What is GDP in year 1 and year 2 2. In percentage terms, which of the 4 categories of spending changed more from year 1 to year 2. In other words, looking at the results from year 2, which of the categories experienced the highest percentage change. Explain your rationale with numbers. 3. What was the percentage change in GDP? Explain your rationale with numbers. Use 2 decimal points. 4. In your own words, explain why GDP is such an important metric that is used to understand the economic performance of nations. How does looking at GDP per capita help when comparing economic performance of different…
