Intermediate Goods
Refer to those goods which are used either for resale or for further production in the same year.
Intermediate Goods include:
a. Goods purchased for resale (like milk purchased by a Dairy Shop).
b. Goods used for further production (like milk used for making sweets).
Intermediate goods are used up in the same year. If they remain for more than one year, then
they are treated as final goods.
Examples:

National Income and Related Aggregates
(i) Steel sheets used for making automobiles and copper used for making
utensils are intermediate goods since they are purchased with the purpose of
using them completely during the same year for productionof steel
gates/utensils.
(ii) Mobile sets purchased by a mobile dealer are intermediate products because these are
purchased for resale.
(iii) Chalks, dusters, etc. purchased by a school are intermediate products because
these are used up completelyduring the same year in the production of
educational services.
(iv) Paper purchased by a publisher is an intermediate product because it is used as
raw material for productionof books in the same year.
(v) Purchase of rice by a grocery shop is an intermediate product because it is purchased for
resale.
(vi) Coal used by a manufacturing firm is an intermediate product because it is
used as a non-factor input forproduction of other commodities during the
same year.
(vii) Fertilisers used by the farmers are intermediate products because these are
used up completely forproducing grains during the same year.
(viii) Cotton used by a spinning mill is an intermediate product because it is used
for further production ofclothes during the same year.
Final Goods: - Final goods refer to those goods which are used either for consumption or for
investment
1. Goods purchased by consumer households as they are meant for final consumption (like milk
purchased by households).
2. Goods purchased by firms for capital formation or investment (like machinery purchased by a
firm).
Examples:
(i) Machine purchased by a firm for installation in factory is a final good because it is purchased
for investment.
(ii) Milk purchased by households is a final good as it is purchased for consumption.
(iii) Furniture purchased by a school is a final product because it is purchased for investment.
(iv) Computers installed in an office is a final product because it is purchased for investment.
(v) Printer purchased by a lawyer for office use is a final product because it is purchased for
investment.
(vi) Blackboard used in a school is a final good because it is for investment. It is
not used up completely in ayear but remains for production of educational
services.
(vii) Second hand car purchased by a house hold is a final good because it is purchased for
consumption.
Note: - Final goods are neither resold nor used for any further transformation in the process of
production

National Income and Related Aggregates
It is not possible to name one set of goods as final goods and another set as intermediate goods. The
same good may be final or intermediate good. The distinction depends on the end-use of the goods.
For example, sugar used as a raw material in the production of biscuits is an intermediate good. But,
sugar used by the households in milk or tea is a final good. Likewise, paper purchased by a student is a
final good. But when purchased by a publisher (for making books), it is an intermediate good.

production boundary. production boundary.
Transformation They are transformed in the They are not transform in the
process of production. process of production.
Example milk used in dairy shop for Milk purchased by
resale. households for consumption.
Consumption goods
1. Non-durable goods: Goods use in a single act of consumption Example:- coke, ice-cream
2. Semi-durable goods Use for some longer period of time Example:- tooth-paste
3. Durable goods Can be used for several years Example:- furniture, television
4. Services: - an Intangible thing which directly satisfies human wants Example: - doctor service,
mobile service.
Capital goods these are durable final goods used by the producers in the production process. They
do not change during production process. For example fixed assets like machines, plants and equipment
used in production process.

Concept of Investment
Investment:- Investment means additions made to the existing stock of capital during the year. It
increases productivity capacity of the production i.e I = Δ K ( I = Investment, K – Capital Stock)
Investment can be gross or net
Two types
1. Gross capital formation
2. Net capital formation
Gross capital formation/investment:- The total Addition of capital goods to the existing stock
of capital during a given time period is called cross investment stocks components of gross investment
are:
1. Gross fixed capital formation
2. Stock investment

Depreciation or consumption of fixed capital.-It is the loss in the value of fixed assets during use due
to
(a) Normal wear and tear and
(b) Expected obsolescence
It does not include capital loss due to unexpected obsolescence like natural calamities, theft or
accident

Households Firms
Economic Sectors
1. Household sector Its task is the consumption of goods and services. This sector is the
owner of Land, Labour, capital an organization and these factors are hired by producer
sector from the from this sector.
2. Production sector Its task is the production and sale of goods and services. This sector
is in the form of production firms and corporations. It hires factors of production like
land , labor, capital an entrepreneurial skills from the households.
3. The government sector Its task is activities concerning collection of taxes and
subsidies. It act as regulator between first two sectors. With the money received, it
undertakes public welfare and maintain law and order. Government sector is also
producer of goods and services in public sector.
4. Rest of the world sector Its task is exports of surplus and imports of necessary goods
and services. it is also called external sector. It makes possible the flow of capital
between domestic economy and rest of the world.
2. Equality of Real and Nominal flow—Goods and services flow (real flow) in one direction
corresponded by equal money payments/incomes (nominal flow).

Circular flow prevails when the household spends their income (Wages are salaries) on the goods and
services produced by the firms that is why the money goes back to the firms from households through
their expenditure

Leakages Injections
These flow variables have a negative impact on These causes positive impact on the process of
the process of production production or income generation
These are patrols from the circular flow of These are additions to the circular flow of
income income
Leakages reduces flow of income and Injections add to the production capacity of the
production and reduces the demand of goods and economy and generate demand of goods and
services services
Example saving, taxation and imports Examples investment, exports

(1) Factor Incomes: Factor incomes are the payments made by the producing units (firms) to
the households (owners of the factors of production) for the use of their factor services.
Factor incomes (or factor payments) are broadly classified as under:
(i) Compensation of employees (received by the households for rendering their services as
employees of the producing units).
(ii) Rent (received by the households for the use of their land by the producing units).
(iii) Interest (received by the households for the use of their capital by the producing units).
(iv) Profit (received by the households for the use of their entrepreneurial skills by the
producing units).
(2) Transfer Income: - is the earning for which no contribution is made to the flow of goods and
services. e.g. gift, donation, scholarship etc. In other words it is income received without
anything provided in return
In the estimation of national income, we include only these factor incomes (or factor
payments).
Factor Incomes are Different from Transfer Incomes Transfer incomes are those
incomes which are received by a person as help, donation or charity, etc. , whereas
12
National Income and Related Aggregates
factor incomes are those incomes which are received by the factors of production by
rendering their factor services. In other words, while factor income is 'earned income',
transfer income is 'unearned income'. Since, transfer incomes are not earned as rewards
for rendering factor services, these are not included in the estimation of national
income.
Difference between factor income and transfer income

factor services by the factors of production. corresponding services.
These are included in national income. These are not included in national income

Resident vs Citizenship
(1) Normal Resident:
A resident ( or normal resident ) of a country is a person or an institution who ordinarily
resides in the country and whose Centre of economic interest lies also lies in that country.
ordinarily resides means A person residing in a country for a period of one year (or more).
This person may or may not be the citizen of that country.
And Centre of economic interest lies in that country means he carry out all his economic
activities such as production, consumption or investment in that country.
Thus, the following points may be noted about the concept of normal resident:
Normal residents refer not only to individuals but also to institutions : All production
units/enterprises (i.e., institutional units) located in the domestic territory of a country are
included as normal residents as their 'Centre of economic interest' lies in the country where
they are located.
Normal residents include nationals and non-nationals, i.e., it is not necessary that a normal
resident of a country is also its citizen.
For example, there are a large number of Indian software engineers who visit US for a span of
two or three years. For that period, they become the residents of US but not the citizens of US.
International organisations like WTO , WHO , IMF are not considered as normal resident of
any country , but the people working in those organisations are treated as normal residents of
that country to which they belong.
For example: Indian working in the office of WTO located in New Delhi will be normal resident
of India.
13
National Income and Related Aggregates
An American working in UNO office located in India will be treated as normal resident of
America they are considered as the resident of the country to which they belong. But If that
American works in India for more than a year he is normal resident of India.
Local employees working in foreign embassy are considered as normal resident of that country
For example Indian working in American embassy in India is the normal resident of India.and
Indian working in Indian embassy is also normal resident of india.
Crew member, commercial travellers, seasonal workers of a country and any technician,
specialist from abroad for short visit in the country for installation or guidance will be treated a
normal resident of that country to which they belong.
For example commercial traveller from India in Japan and I.T programmer from India in USA
for installation of some program will be treated as normal resident of India as they belong to
India .
Persons living in border areas who cross the border between two countries daily or regularly in
order to work in one country are the residents of the country in which they live. They are not the
residents of the country in which they are employed. (India and Nepal share open border and
many Nepalese cross the border day in and day out.)
Medical patients and students remain the residents of their own country irrespective of the time
they live abroad.
Officials, diplomats and members of the armed forces working in different parts of the world are
treated normal resident of that country to which he belong.
For example members of Indian armed forces deputed in Afghanistan will be treated as normal
resident of India as they belong to India.
people staying in other country for the purpose of medical treatment, study ,to enjoy Holidays
or sports ,attending conferences will be normal resident of that country to which they belong.
For example member of Indian cricket team playing in South Africa will be treated as normal
resident of India as they belong to India.
Citizen: - Citizenship is a legal concept based on the place of birth of the person or some legal
provision allowing a person to become a citizen.
Economic territory
Economic Territory: - Geographical Territory Administered By A Government within Which
Persons, Goods And Capital Circulate Freely And Includes
• Political Frontiers Including Territorial Waters And Air Spaceships Aircrafts
• Fishing Vessels , Oil And Natural Gas Rigs
• Embassies, Consultants , Military Bases Etc
Those parts of the political frontiers of a country where the government of that country does
Not enjoy the above “freedom” are not to be included in economic territory of that country.
One Example is “Embassies”.
Government of India does not enjoy the above freedom in the foreign
Embassies located within India. So, these are not treated as a part of economic territory of India.
They are treated as part of the economic territories of their respective countries.
For example the U.S. embassy in India is a part of economic territory of the U.S.A. similarly; the
Indian embassy in Washington is a part of economic territory of India.

Concept of
1. Net factor income from abroad
2. Factor cost and market price
3. Gross and net
Net factor Income from Abroad = Factor Income from abroad by the Normal residents – Factor
Income of Non-residents in the domestic territory
Net factor Income from Abroad = Net compensation of employees + Net property and entrepreneurship income
from abroad + Net retained earnings of residents companies abroad
National product concept based on resident and includes their contribution to production both
within and outside the economic territory.
National product = Domestic product + Residents contribution to production outside the economic
territory (Factor income from abroad) - Non- resident contribution to production inside the economic
territory (Factor income to abroad)
Question: Can gross domestic product be greater than gross national product?
Ans:- Domestic product can be greater than national product if factor income paid to the rest of the
world is greater than the factor income received from the rest of the world is i.e. when net-factor
income received from abroad is negative.

Ans : It refers to the difference between Indirect Tax paid by the enterprises to the Govt. & the
Subsidies paid by the Govt. to some of the enterprises. This concept is used to obtain the national
income at factor cost or factor prices. The NIT is deducted from market price (MP) to get factor cost
(FC).Indirect Tax is the amount of burden whose impact falls on one person or a group and the
incidence falls on other person or group. Subsidies refer to the financial assistance or aid provided by
the state to the weak & sick units
(i) Factor cost refers to all factor payments made by the producing unit to the factors of production for
rendering productive services in the production of goods and services.
(ii) Market price is the price at which a commodity is sold and purchased in the market.
Subsidies: These are the cash grants given by the government to the enterprises to encourage production
of certain commodities or to promote exports or to sell goods at prices lower than the free market prices.

Consumption of Fixed Capital: Fall in value of fixed assets due to normal wear and tear, and expected
obsolescence is called consumption of fixed capital. Its two reason are (i) Normal wear and tear (ii)
Expected Obsolescence () loss of value to change in technology.

GDP: - The total market value of all final goods and services produced by all productive enterprises in
the domestic territory of a country in a year.
Real GDP
It is the monetary value of all goods and services produced in an economy during a financial
year, estimated using base year prices.
Price index/ GDP deflator A Price index is a number showing the changes in the overall level of
prices. It shows a change in the general price level of an economy.
This GDP changes only due to change in output It changes due to change in both price and output
of the economy. So it is a reliable measure of of the economy. So it is not a reliable measure of
economic growth. economic growth.

Consumer price index:- Calculated by dividing the price of the basket of goods and services in a
given year by the price of the same basket in the base year multiplied by 100.
Consumer price index = Cost of Market Basket of Current Year / Cost of Market Basket of Base Year

23
National Income and Related Aggregates
Why are exports included in the estimation of domestic product by the expenditure method?
Ans. Expenditure method estimates expenditure on domestic product, i.e. expenditure on final goods
and services produced within the economic territory of the country. It includes expenditure by
residents and non- residents both. Exports, though purchased by non- residents, are produced within
the economic territory, and therefore, a part of domestic product.

1. Compensation Of Employees:-Any human work done mentally or manually with the aim of
earning income is called labour. Thus income got in return for doing work in the production
process is called income from work.
i. Includes Wages And Salary (Both In Cash And Kind)
ii. Employers Contribution To Social Security Scheme
3. Income from property (operating surplus) :- Income from property is earned in two ways, (i)
by ownership, and (ii) by control of property. Income from ownership of property is called rent
and interest and that from control of property( entrepreneurship) as profit. Broadly, income from
property is called operating surplus which consists of rent, interest and profit.
