FORMULAS!! 😀😀😀
  • C+Ig+G+Xn=GDP
  • Budget= Government Purchases of Goods and Services + Government Transfer Payments - Government Tax and Fee Collection
    (If Number is Positive, It is a deficit. If Number is negative, it is a surplus)
  • Trade= Exports-Imports
  • GNP=GDP+Net Foreign Factor Payments
  • NNP(Net National Product)= GNP-Depreciation
  • NDP(Net Domestic Product) = GDP - Depreciation
  • National Income =
    • GDP-Indirect Business Taxes - Depreciation - Net Foreign Factor Payments
    • Compensation of Employees + Rental Income + Interest Income + Proprietor’s Income + Corporate Profits
  • Disposable Personal Income = National Income - Personal Household Taxes + Government Transfer Payments
Nominal GDP
  • Value of output produced in current prices
  • Price x Quantity = Nominal GDP
  • Can increase from year to year if either output or price increase
Real GDP
  • Value of output produced in constant or base year prices
  • Price x Quantity = Real GDP
  • Can increase from year to year only if output increases
  • Output is measured by quantity
  • Reason why real GDP reflects base year price is because it accounts for inflation


    Price Index
    • Measures inflation by tracking changes in the price in the market basket of goods compared with the base year
    • (Price of market basket of goods in current year)/(Price of market of goods in base year) x 100 = Price Index
    GDP Deflator
    • Price index used to adjust from nominal to real GDP
    • In the base year, GDP deflator will equal 100
    • For years after the base year, the GDP deflator is greater than 100
    • For years before the base year, the GDP deflator is less than 100
    • (Nominal GDP)/(Real GDP) x 100 = GDP Deflator
    Calculate Inflation

    • ((New GDP Deflator) - (Old GDP Deflator)) / (Old GDP Deflator) x 100
