And, in the process of production, income is generated or we can say that the output emerging from production processis distrib- uted among factors of production in the form of money incomeJeg., rent, wages, interest, and profits). Thus, production generates income. This generated income gives rise to demand for produced goods and services. In other wards, the households (-e., suppliers of factor services) apend their income on goods and services to satisly their wants. Hence, incomecreates expenditure. \hich ultimately.leads to further production. - In short, Production generates income, income gives, rise to demand (or expenditure) and expens ure; in turn, leads to more production. In this way, the three flows-productiin, income, and expendilure-becume cireylar. ‘They have been shown in figure 13.1. ‘a Measurement; BL INGOME, acct sressioymssinins ae — 1, Methods of Measuring National Income : noted above, there are three flows, ie, production, flow of income, and flow of expen- other words, National income of a country can be monaured at three different level 1 \£.

Until a good comes out to be @ final commodity, some value is added at every stage of production by different produc- ing writs. The value ens crestediat diferent stages is called value edad. For example, suppose ‘in the prod stages faction, Witiely, raw cotton, cotton yan, ‘and Enally cotton cloth. Further,goppose Fiime A.

The folowing steps are involved while measuring national income by using value added method : A_-Bitep 1. First of all, productive enterprises are identified and classified into primary, secondary and tertiary sectors. (@ Primary Sector. It includes all agricultural and allied activities, e.g., forestry, fishing, mining, quarrying, ete. It produces goods by exploiting natural resources such as land, water, forests, mines, ete. (ii) Secondary Sector. This sector is also called as “Manufaciuriig sec e of commodity into another. For example, manufacturing of cotton cloth from cotton yarn, i . sugar from sugarcane and furniture from wood, etc. iii) Tertiary Sector. This sector (which is also called service sector) provides useful services a to the primary and secondary sectors of the economy. It consists of services such as bank- ing, insurance, transport, trade, communications, etc. : 1 Problem of Dounle Counting. While estimating national income, we take only the value of final goods and services produced. This is for the simple reason that the value of goods should be counted only once. But to establish whether a particular commodity is a final commodity or an intermediate commodity is sometimes not an easy task As far as an individual enterprise is concerned, its sales are final, For example, producer A produces raw cotton and sells it to producer B for Rs. 500. For Producer A, sale of cotton for Bs, 600 is final. But for producer B who converts raw cotton into cotton yarn, raw cotton is an intermediate commodity. Similarly, suppose producer B sells catton yarn to producer C (who converts cotton yarn into cotton cloth) for Rs. 900, it (cotton yarn) beenmes an intermediate commodity in the hands of producer C. But producer B treats the commodity {cotton yarn) as final, because he is not concerned at all with it after sale. But we know that value of cotton yarn ineludes value of raw cotton and, similarly, value of cotton cloth includes the value of cotton, ‘yarn. If we take the money value of all these three goods—raw cotton, cotton coton yarn : ‘cloth while estimating national income, it-means the value of raw cotton hax been coun' and the value of cotton yarn twice. The counting of the value of commodity more than once is termed as ‘double counting’. . o.,rtC—~S—— ba. ob 263 2, saw, varue of tPUL, VlUe Of intermediate consum pees . u id ° tion are calculated. eee and cost of deprecia Value of output is wo multiplying the amount of goods and servi. ae i rices.

By adding the net value added of all the producing enterprises in an industrial secion we obtain net value added of that industrial sector. The sum total of net Values udded by all the industrial sectors in the domestic territory of the country, gives us the Net Domestic Product at Factor Cost. Net Value Added = Valued added by Primary Sector + Value added by Secondary Sector + Value added by Tertiary Sector w Sep 3. To estimate Net Factor Income from Abroad. The third and final step in the “Gstimation of national income is to estimate the net factor income earned from abroad an¢ ‘add it to the net domestic product at factor cost.

Income Method a 4. fiteodueti sd earlier, net domestic product at factor cost is equal to domestic factor income. It is for the simple reason that for every rupee worth of goods and services produced, a rupee’s income is generated. So, national income can be expressed as the, sum of factor payments made by the producers. And this method (ce, income method) should j give us the same estimate of national income as the product method has given. eae According to the income method, national income is measured in terms of payments made lo the primary factors of production (viz,, land, labour, capital, and entrepreneurship) for their productive servives.So, national income here can be defined as “the sum total of factor in raed by the normal residents of Peountry during a year by working bot STEPS INVOLVED IN INCOME ‘Within or oulside the country.” Since, factor METHOD incomes are the costs to their employers.(or pro- ducers», so factor income and factor cost mean eee classification of the same thing. ee | enterprises 7 lucome method is also called as Factor Classification of factor incomes Paymi hod or Distributed Share...

By adding all the incomes paid out by all the sectors (.., primary, secondary and ter- tiary), we obtain domestic factor income.

Income earned only by way of legal activtics is indluded. = (iii) Income from th€Gale of Second-hand Goods. Income or money received by way af selling secondhand“goods (e., old car, old house, old TV sets, etc.) is not included in the national income. It is because of the fact that the value of their original sale has already been in the year of their ive sales. Now there is only a change in the ownership of the secondhand goods. Their transactions do not contribute anyth-ing to the current flow of goods and services. However, brokerage ot commission paid to the brokers or commission agents on the sale and purchase of such goods if any, is includ-ed, because new factor income is generated. (iv) Sale of Sharep( ands, etc. Money received by selling shares and bonds (both old and new) in the market is not treated as inenine, hecause here j onding production In the national income, windfall gains (like income from lotteries) are not included.
