Final Goods and Services

Goods are services that are at their final stage of production and will not be transformed into yet other goods or services. For example, wheat ordinarily is not considered a final good because it is usually used to make a final good, bread.

Intermediate Goods

Goods used up entirely in the production of final goods.

Depreciation

Reduction in the value of capital goods over a one-year period due to physical wear and tear and also to obsolescence; also called capital consumption allowance.

Gross Domestic Income (GDI)

The sum of ALL INCOME-- wages, interest, rent, and profits -- paid to the four factors of production.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

The total market value of all final goods and services produced during a year by factors of production located within a nation's borders.

National Income (NI)

The total of all factor payments to resource owners. It can be obtained from net domestic product (NDP) by subtracting indirect business taxes and transfers and adding net U.S. income earned abroad and other business income adjustments.

Nonincome Expense Items

The total of indirect business taxes and depreciation.

Nominal Values

The values of variables such as GDP and investment expressed in current dollars, also called money values; measurement in terms of the actual market prices at which goods and services are sold.

Total Income

The yearly amount earned by the nation's resources (factors of production). Total income therefore includes wages, rent, interest payments, and profits that are received by workers, landowners, capital owners, and entrepreneurs, respectively.

To correct nominal GDP for price changes, we must first select a base year for our price index and assign it the number ____. Then we construct an index based on how a weighted average of prices has changed relative to that base year. For example, if in the next year a weighted average of the prices indicates that prices have increased by 10 percent, we would assign it the number ____. We then divide each year's price index, so constructed, into its respective nominal GDP figure (and multiply by 100).

100 110

The following table gives nominal GDP and the price index for two years. Find per capita real GDP in each year and fill in the table. ​(Round your answers to two decimal​ places.) YR |Nominal GDP | Real GDP | 2010 6,700 6381 2011 7,236 6461 Population | Per Cap Real GDP 100 _____ 103 _____ --------------------------------------------------------- The growth rate of real GDP between 2010 and 2011 was ___​%, and the growth rate of per capita real GDP was ___​%. ​(Round your answers to two decimal​ places.)

GDP market value

the expenditure approach

GDP = C + I + G + X where C = consumption expenditures I = investment expenditures G = government expenditures X = net exports
