*TOPIC – NATIONAL INCOME CALCULATION*

*INOCME METHOD *

INCOME METHOD FOR MEASURING NATIONAL INCOME-
The income approach is an evaluation methodology used for real estate estimated that is computed by dividing the capitalization tariff or price by the net operating income of the rental payments. Investors use this computation to value properties based on their profitability.

          This methodology approaches national income from allocation facet. To put it in other words, this methodology quantifies national income at the stage of allocation and appears as income paid or received by individuals of the nation. Hence, under this methodology, national income is attained by adding up of the earnings of all individuals of a nation. Individuals earn by contributing their own services and the services of their property such as land and capital to the national production.

          Hence, national income is computed by summing up the rent of a land, salaries of employees and wages, interest on capital, surplus profits of entrepreneurs (including unallocated corporate profits) and earnings of self-employed people. This methodology of evaluating national income has the great advantage of manifesting the allocating of national income among different earning groups such as:
Workers
Landlords
Entrepreneurs
Owners of capital

          As mentioned earlier, the sum of final expenditures in the economy must be equivalent to the income received by all the factors of manufacturing taken together. This follows from the simple notion that the revenues earned by all the enterprises put together must be allocated among the factors of manufacturing as profits, salaries, interest earnings, wages, and rents.

          In the words of Hanson, “Net domestic Income is the income generated in the form of wages, rent, interest and profit in the domestic territory of a country by all producers (normal residents and non-residents) in an accounting year.”

 

METHOD:

          The Income Method measures national income from the side of payments made to the primary factors of production in the form of rent, wages, interest and profit for their productive services in an accounting year. Thus, national income is calculated by adding up factor incomes generated by all the producing units located within the domestic economy during a period of account.
         
          The resulting total is called Domestic Income or Net Domestic Product at FC (NDPFC)- By adding net factor income from abroad to domestic income, we get National Income (NNPFC)- Mind, in income method national income is measured at the stage when factor incomes are paid out by enterprises to owners of factors of production—land, labour, capital and enterprise.

          Since net value added by an enterprise is the result of services of factors of production, therefore, the same is distributed in the form of money income (rent, wages, interest, etc.) among factors of production. Hence, value of national income method should be the same as the one calculated by value added method.

Compensation of Employees
+ Operating Surplus
+ Mixed Income
= Net Domestic Product at Factor Cost (NDPfc)
= Domestic Income
(+) Net factor Income from Abroad
= Net National Product at Factor Price (NNPFC)
= National Income

Compensation of Employees –
(1) Wages and Salaries in Cash;
(2) Wages and Salaries in Kind;
(3) Employer’s contribution in Social Security Schemes.

Operating Surplus –
(1) Factor Payment like Rent,
(2) Royalty,
(3) Interest and
(4) Profit (Profit Includes Dividend, Corporation Tax and Retained Earning)

Mixed Income – Income from Self employment

 

STEPS - Following are the main steps involved in estimating national income by income method:

(i) Identify enterprises which employ factors of production (land, labour, capital and enterprise).
(ii) Classify factor payments into various categories like rent, wages, interest, profit and mixed income (or classify factor payments into compensation of employees, mixed income and operating surplus).
(iii) Estimate amount of factor payments made by each enterprise.
(iv)Sum up all factor payments made within domestic territory to get Domestic Income (NDP at FC).
(u) Estimate net factor income from abroad which is added to Domestic Income to derive National Income.

STEPS IN SHORT-
(1) Identify and classify the production units.
(2) Estimate the factor income paid by each sector.
(3) Calculate Domestic Income (NDPFC) = NDPFC = C.o.E. + Rent and Royalty + Interest + Profit + Mixed Income
(4) Estimate net factor income from abroad (NFIY) to arrive at National Income. NNPFC = NDPFC + NFIA.

 

PRECAUTIONS - For correct computation of national income by income method, following precautions need to be taken:

(i) Only factor incomes which are earned by rendering productive services are included. All types of transfer income like old-age pension, unemployment allowance, etc. are excluded.
(ii) Sale and purchase of second-hand goods are excluded since they are not part of production of current year but commission paid on sale of second-hand goods is included as it is reward for rendering productive services. Likewise, sale proceeds of shares and bonds are not included.
(iii) Imputed rent of owner occupied dwellings and value of production for self-consumption is included but value of self-consumed services like those of housewife is not included.
(iv) Incomes from illegal activities like smuggling, black-marketing, etc. as well as windfall gains (e.g., from lotteries) are excluded.

PRECAUTIONS IN SHORT-
(1) Transfer Incomes are not included in the N.I.
(2) Income from sale of second hand goods will not be included.
(3) Income from sale of shares, bonds and debentures will not be included.
(4) Windfall gains.
(5) Imputed value of services provided by owners of production units will be included.
(6) Payments out of past savings are not included in the N.I.
(7) Indirect Taxes are not included in N.I. at factor cost



QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS –

Question - Explain why ‘cash-transfers’ to the bank account of the poor are not treated as the income of their beneficiaries.  -  
Answer - Cash transfer by the government are merely transfer payments. They not made in lieu of some productive services.

Question - Manish buys a second hand car from a car broker for Rs. 3,25,000. The broker receives Rs. 16,500 as commission for his services from Manish. How will this transaction affect the national income of the country? Give reason for your answer.
Answer - The commission of Rs. 16,500 received by the broker will be added in the national income of the country as it is the income of the broker for his productive services to Manish. The amount paid for purchase of car will not be included as it is the payment for purchase of an already existing object and there is no addition to current flow of goods and services.

Question –The vegetables grown in kitchen gardening are final good, yet their value is not considered in estimating national income .Why?
Answer - Such transaction are not considered in estimating national income because it is difficult to ascertain their market value. Moreover, such transactions are not done for the purpose of earning income.

NUMERICALS

1. Calculate Operating Surplus from the following data:
terms                                                 ( in crore)
(i) Rent                                              120
(ii) Profit                                           200
(iii) Domestic income                        800
(iv) Mixed income                                       70
(v) Wages and salaries                      350
(vi) Indirect tax                                 150
(vii) Subsidies                                   50
(viii) Depreciation                                       200

SOLUTION
Operating Surplus
= Domestic income – Wages and salaries – Mixed income
= 800 crore – 350 crore –  70 crore
=  380 crore
Ans. Operating surplus = ` 380 crore.

2. Calculate National Income by Income Method from the following Data:
1.     Govt. final consumption expenditure                                      100
2.     Subsidies                                                                        10
3.     Rent                                                                               200
4.     Wages  and Salaries                                                       600
5.     Indirect taxes                                                                 60
6.     Private final Consumption expenditure                         800
7.     Gross Domestic Capital formation                                120
8.     Social Security contribution by employers                    55
9.     Royalty                                                                          25
10.                        Net factor income paid to abroad                                  30
11.                        Interest                                                                           20
12.                        Consumption of fixed capital                                        10
13.                        Profit                                                                              130
14.                        Net Exports                                                                            70

SOLUTION -
National Income by Income Method= 
NDPFC= Wages and Salaries + Social Security contribution by employers + Rent + Royalty + Interest + Profit
= 600 + 55 + 200 + 25 + 20 + 130
= (655) + (375) + (0)
NDPfc = 1030
NNPfc = NDPfc - Net Factor Income from Abroad
          = 1030 - (30)
NNPfc = 1000

NDPfc = Compensation of Employees + Operating Surplus + Mixed Income
          = 1850 + (400 + 500 + 1100) + 0
          = 1850 + 2000
NDPfc = 3850 + (-50)
           = 3850 – 50
GNPfc = 3800

           = (Wages + Social security contribution by employers) + (Rent, interest, profit) + Mixed Income
           = (50 + 10) + (20) + 40
           = 60 + 20 + 40
NDPfc = 120
NNPfc = NDPfc + Net Factor Income from Abroad
           = 120 + (-10)
           = 120 – 10
NNPfc = 110
