Question : The government exports goods worth INR 60,000 and imports goods worth INR 65,000. Domestic final consumption expenditure = INR 5,00,000, and there is no change in the stock of national capital.
Replacement investment = INR 10,000. There are no subsidies; rather the producers are to pay an excise duty of INR 5,000 to the government. Find factor income generated within the domestic economy.
Option 1: 590000
Option 2: 490000
Option 3: 390000
Option 4: 520000
Correct Answer: 490000
Solution : The correct answer is (b) 490000
To find the factor income generated within the domestic economy, we need to subtract the net exports (exports - imports) and the excise duty from the domestic final consumption expenditure.
Domestic final consumption expenditure = INR 5,00,000
Exports = INR 60,000
Imports = INR 65,000
Excise duty = INR 5,000
No subsidies mentioned
Net exports = Exports - Imports
Net exports = INR 60,000 - INR 65,000
Net exports = -INR 5,000 (Negative value indicates trade deficit)
Factor income generated within the domestic economy = Domestic final consumption expenditure - Net exports - Excise duty
Factor income generated within the domestic economy = INR 5,00,000 - (-INR 5,000) - INR 5,000
Factor income generated within the domestic economy = INR 5,00,000 + INR 5,000 - INR 5,000
Factor income generated within the domestic economy = INR 5,00,000-10000
Therefore, the factor income generated within the domestic economy is INR 490,000.
