Essay about Principles of Macroeconomics
Data Exercise One ECON 201: Principles of Macroeconomics September 5, 2014 To live in an economy that is not negatively impacted by recession,
downsizing, or business capsizing would be ideal. The unfortunate reality is that we are faced with economic situations that will be either helpful or
hurtful to us all. Over the last few quarters between 2013 and 2014 the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), conducted an analysis that reflects
the changes in GDP. During this time the Nominal GDP was much greater than the Real GDP. Expenditures Approach to Calculating GDP

Considering the table above, GNP was higher than the National Income by 2,521.3. To determine National Income from GNP you have to subtract
GNP. The main component would be the value of GNP and the total output of goods and services of a country. National Income also considers both
domestic and international earnings. GDP in Different Countries COUNTRY GDP (in billions of U.S. dollars) Population (in millions) Per Capita

The Human Development Index Is a Better Measure of...
I will advance the thesis that the Human Development Index (HDI) is a better measure of economic performance than the Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) per capita. By saying that the HDI is a better system to measure economic performance, I mean that because the HDI highlights the trend
between longevity, education and economic growth, it calculates a better analysis of an economy (Costa, Steckel 1997, p. 71). In contrast, the GDP per
capita only accounts for the gross domestic product without paying any attention to other factors of an economy (Hawthorn, Sen 1997, p. 60). With
this being said, my thesis asserts that the HDI is a better measure for economic performance because it considers significant factors that play large roles

As I just defended the importance of considering longevity in an economy, I will now explain why it is imperative to consider education when
calculating the development and performance of an economy. To begin, when a population is educated they will have the opportunity to adapt new
technology and new ideas to enhance their productivity and output, which is an essential part of competing against other economies in the
international arena. To be more specific, when a population is able to adapt new technology and idea they increase their speed of production, which,
in turn, increases their output, which means, in simple terms, new technology and ideas increase an economy's growth because it allows them to
produce more, faster and trade more, faster. This is best explained in Invest in Humans, Technological Diffusion, and Economic Growth that says,
"the better educated farmer is quicker to adopt profitable new processes and products since, for him, the expected payoff from innovation is likely to
be greater and the risk likely to be smaller; for he is better able to discriminate between promising and unpromising ideas, and hence les likely to make
mistakes (Nelson, Phelps 1966, p.70)", while the less educated farmer is prudent to delay the introduction of new technology until he has concrete
evidence of its profitability, which is often from his

Gross National Income (GNI)
I chose to do GNI per capita (PPP 2013) because at first glance I could tell that the numbers would vary a lot more than the other three options. GNI
has to do with thousands while the other choices were single digits. Gross national income (GNI) was also a topic I find to be interesting. I think it
is beneficial to see each countries individual income and a choropleth map depicts it very well. The first methodology I used for this map the video
by Professor Bell. I looked at the tables in the Appendix comparing them and doing a little bit of research to see which one was the most interesting to

Bruce And Johnston Retirement Case Summary
Bruce and Faith Johnston are 64 and 58 respectively and plan to retire within the next 2 years. They have a combined net worth of $456,990 and if
they accomplish their goals of paying off their outstanding debt and their mortgage, their net worth will increase. Their current monthly income sums
to $5,666 and their total monthly expenses totals to around $4,500 with $1,000 of it as expenses for subsidizing living expenses for their two children
as a result of a "late parenthood". With the idea of retiring within the next two years, their main source of income following retirement is the $235,000
in Bruce's company profit sharing plan, and the potential inheritance of $150,000 from Faith's father. Their monthly household expenses include $850
for their mortgage, which has nine years of payments remaining, $400 for property taxes, $300 for utilities, $250 for insurance, and $278 for their new
car that still has 48 payments left. With their monthly income totaling $5,666, that leaves only $1,166 a month for various expenses that might pop up
and for further investments into Bruce's profit sharing plan. They do not have any cash assets, which is a negative about their financial situation. They
also have numerous debts which include their $75,000 mortgage, $13,344 for a car loan, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Once Bruce retires, his employer will become a secondary payer, as Medicare will be the primary. His employer will continue to provide health

Gross Domestic Product ( Gdp ) Economic Statistics
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) economic statistics are one of the most closely watched stats throughout each country. In the charts listed above, the
nominal GDP is greater than real GDP in each quarter of 2016 due to the nominal GDP reflecting current GDP at current price and real GDP
reflecting current GDP at past year prices. Also, the chart reflects that the nominal GDP was greater than the real GDP for each quarter of 2016 due to
the value of the nominal GDP sub–categories (personal consumption expenditures, gross private domestic investments, and government consumption

Some differences between the two products are services or the market of goods that are produced for that respective country's economy. However, the
GNP does not include the annual foreign production that is inherited by the domestic citizens, whereas the GDP does include the foreign productions
that are inherited by its domestic citizens. According to the table above, to determine the GNP and GDP you will calculate the national product total
from the national and personal income. National income is the overall annual value of goods and services within a respective country economy. The
chart shows that in 2016, the GNP was $7,864.80 higher than the national income. National income is broken down into ten categories (compensation
of employees, rents, interest, proprietor's income, corporate income taxes, dividends, undistributed corporate profits, indirect business taxes,
consumption of fixed capital and net foreign factor income). However, the employee compensation makes up the largest portion of the national
income. In my opinion, I believe this to be true, because the economy is valued by its population and the services that are provided and goods that are
sold. This can't happen without having citizens gainfully employed, which in return will need to be compensated for the work they are contributing to
their economy. Part III. GDP in Different Countries Country NameCountry CodeSeries NameSeries Code2015

In contrast, the lack of economic growth in the poorest countries of the world has meant that living conditions for hundreds of millions of people are
appalling by the standards of rich countries; per capita income levels in many 21st–century countries are much lower than they were in 19th–century.To
understand why the human race has become so much wealthier and why our wealth is shared so inequitably among the inhabitants of the world, we
need to understand what drives economic growth. What is Economic Growth? An increase in the capacity of an economy to produce goods and
services, compared from one period of time to another. Economic growth can be measured in nominal terms, which include inflation, or in real terms,
which are adjusted for inflation. For comparing one country 's economic growth to another, GDP or GNP per capita should be used as these take into
account population differences between countries. Economic growths is an increase in what an economy can produce if it is using all its scarce
resources. An increase in an economy's productive potential can be shown by an outward shift in the economy's production possibility frontier. A
country 's economic growth is usually indicated by an increase in that country 's gross

Definition Of Poverty
There are a number of definitions of poverty. It is a multifaceted notion which includes social, economic, and political components. "How we define
poverty is critical to politics, policy and academic debates about the concept. It is bound up with explanations and has implications for solutions."
(Lister, 2004 as cited in Class notes, 2017). The United Nations, first established in 1945 shortly after the second world war, was created to promote
international co–operation and maintain international order (UN, 2017). The global term for poverty is defined by using the Gross National Product
(GNP) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Both defined by the World Bank, GNP uses market valuations to measure national income: GNP per
capita (each person) gives an indication of the typical material living standards of a nation, whereas, GDP is a measure of the total market value of
goods and services output and their economic activity. The United Nations set the bar at the minimum daily income of $1.25 (93 pence) per day
(Class notes, 2017). If you are living on less than this you are classed as living in absolute poverty. How poverty is measured is a contested concept
and has had researchers long trying to establish a fixed method of determining. The four main concepts are absolute poverty, relative poverty and
deprivation, consensual poverty, and social exclusion (Class notes, 2017). The concept of absolute poverty was developed in the 19th century by

Gross Domestic Product Is The Value Of Goods Produced And...
Gross Domestic Product, also known as GDP, is defined as the value of goods produced and services provided in a country during one year. Gross
Domestic Product is important in the culture of economics because in the United States, we use it to measure the well–being of the economy. Gross
Domestic Product is measured in quarters, there are four quarters in one economic year. Say the Gross Domestic Product is down 10% in Quarter One
and then in Quarter Two the Gross Domestic Product has gone up by 15%. You subtract 15% from 10% and then you are left with 5%. Therefore, the
economy, or the Gross Domestic Product, has grown by 5% since the last quarter. If the Gross Domestic Product was never measured, we as
Americans would not know if the economy was growing, shirking, or staying the same.
On news channels like FOX News, FOX Business Network, CNN, and MSNBC we hear them talking about the nation's economy and the gross
domestic product all the time. On shows like Neil Cavuto, they have guest on the show to discuss the current gross domestic product and how it's
either improved or diminished over the past years or quarters. In 2010, on Neil Cavuto's FOX Business Network show, "Cavuto on Business" the group
was discussing the downplays of the fourth quarter gross domestic product. The gross domestic product for the fourth quarter had jumped 5.4%. Neil

The expenditure method cannot be used where markets are unorganised. The production method cannot also be used for unorganised sectors such as
small–scale industries, trade and transport, and so on. Different methods are used to measure the income genera ted by various sectors of the economy.
For calculating national income, the Indian economy is divided into 14 broad sectors, which are then grouped into three main categories : A, B and C.
Agriculture, forestry and logging, fishing, mining and quarrying, registered manufacturing and construction are included in category A. The production
method is applied to category A. The value added by this category is found by subtracting the value of raw materials and other inputs from the
aggregate of commodity–wise output. Electricity, railways, air transport, water and organised transport, communications, banking and insurance, real
estate, public administration and defence are included in category B. For category B, the income method is applied and, for this, all the types of
factor incomes which are reported in the annual accounts of various organisations are aggregated. In category C, gas and water supply, unorganised
roads and water transport, storage, trade, hotels and restaurants, ownership of dwelling and other services are included. For this category, sample
surveys are done periodically to find out the average productivity of labour. Estimates of the workforce are interpolated or extrapolated and

The Gross Domestic Product ( Gdp )
The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) represents the monetary value of all the finished goods and services produced within a country 's geographic
borders in a determined period of time. It is used as a quantitative measure of the total economic activity of a nation, and it is usually calculated on
an annual basis. The GDP can be determined in three different ways: output or production measure, income measure, and expenditure measure. In
theory, it should all give the same number. The output or production approach defines the GDP as the value of the goods and services produced by
all sectors of the economy. It is calculated by adding the value of the total sales of goods, minus the intermediate consumption used to produce the
final goods sold. The income approach of calculating GDP is defined as the total income earned by the factors of production within an economy. First,
you should determine the National Income by adding all the wages, rents, interests, and profits earned within an specific period of time. Then, it is
added the value of Sales Taxes, Depreciation and Net Foreign Factor Income, and the final result will be GDP. The expenditure approach identifies four
possible destinations for the total production of an economy. This output can be consumed by households, businesses, the governmentor the foreign
sector. That is why the GDP can be calculating by adding the total amount of the purchases made within an economy in a period of time. From this

Cash Flow Analysis For Your Real Estate Career
As you start gathering momentum in your real estate career, you will begin to notice a steady pattern of cash going in and out of your pocket. This
is considered cash flow in the most simplest form. Cash flow analysis can be as simple or advanced as your needs determine. The investor who has
dozens of property will likely have a much more advanced and complicated cash flow analysis than the investor who has their first piece of property.
What this means for you, is there is no reason to start doing advanced and complicated analysis. This gives you the ability to start small and simple
and work your way slowly towards the more advanced details that become required later on. This will help make sure you make good decisions
because you are able to learn slowly and steadily what parts of the cash flow to focus on to maximize profits. Your cash flow analysis should at the
very least tell you how much profit you can make as well as how much it will cost for you to make that profit. The cash flow will analyze all money
that is spent on each property, as well as all sources of income that the property presents to show hopefully if you selected a good piece of property a
positive cash flow. A cash flow analysis has four basic areas to it to determine profit. The first area isgross income, followed by expenses, with debt
service and cash flow following behind. The first section is gross income; it is within that section that you will figure out your effective gross income.

more freely as globalization has taken its stand. Not only goods, but people also move about more freely than before. Effects of immigration
Immigration can have some positive impacts as well as some negative ones. Both the hosts and originals are affected by it. The countries which are
industrialized in Western Europe or the United states are usually more of the recipient ones. The following benefits are offered to these countries by
the immigrants: Some jobs are done by the immigrants which cannot be done or will not be done by the people in the host countries; They can work
at lower rates than the people of host countries; The diversity of the host countries can be increased; If the immigrants are from a well–settled
background, the help to increase the talent pool of the host countries. There are some drawbacks as well: Exploitation of immigrants due to cheap
labor; As the immigrants are spending their merits in other countries developing or original countries may have some lack of people in their talent pool.

Cuba 's Current Gross National Income Per Person Of $ 5890...
Jason Lee
Captain Czak
History 300
21 October 2016
Cuba
Cuba's current gross national income per person of $5,890 (Talley), enormous debt, and other poor economic conditions can be explained by events
tracing back post–World War II in 1945. The island of Cuba was inhabited by different Mesoamerican cultures but introduced to European cultures in
1492 with the arrival of Christopher Columbus. Spain began to colonize Cuba among other Caribbean islands in the 16th century and utilized the
island as a stopping point before the New World. This all changed when the collapse of Haiti initiated a sugar boom causing Cuba to emerge as a
major world sugar producer. Freedom from Spain was finally gained with the help of the United States after the Spanish American War when the Treat
of Paris was signed. About three years later, the Platt Amendment was passed which provided the United States control and great influence in Cuba's
domestic and international affairs. The United States control was further strengthened after World War II when Fulgencio Batista became President of
Cuba in 1952. But this created many issues which fueled the Cuban Revolution ending in 1959 when Fidel Castro overthrew Batista, propelling Cuba
into a new era of communism. The period of decolonization for Cuba after World War II sparked a surge of nationalism which helped Fidel Castro
dissolve American political, economic, and diplomatic ties as well as establish a communist regime after the Cuban Revolution.

Gross Domestic Product Is The Measure Of A Nation 's Total...
Gross Domestic Product is the curative measure of a nation's total economic activity. It represents the monetary value of all goods and services
produced within a nation's geographic borders over a specified period of time. In other words, it's how to tell how the economy of a country is
doing. It is the total dollar valued of all goods and services; the size of the economy usually in a given year. GDP first came into use in 1937 in a
report to the US Congress in response to the Great Depression, after Russian economist Simon Kuznets conceived the system of measurement. The
system used before was the Gross National Product (GNP). It was widely adopted in 1944 as the standard means to measure national economist. The
income approach to calculate the GDP is the sum of the components. Labor income, rental income, interest income, and profits earned by households in
a year. What is spent on a product is the income to those who helped to produce it and sell it. The expenditure approach, on the other hand, totals
consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports produced by a country in a year. The first component of the GDP is consumption. It
includes all private and public consumption, government outlays, investments, and exports minus imports that occur within a defined territory. Is
normally the largest GDP component. Many persons judge the economic performance of their economic performance of their country mainly in terms
of consumption level of dynamics.

Gdp And Total Expenditure On Purchasing A New Houses Essay
1. GDP is the monetary value allocated to all goods and services produced within a given country. This excludes the net income accruing from
abroad. GDP can be measured using the total expenditure approach for calculating National Income as a summation of total expenditure on
commodities produced in a given economy. Any expenditure on purchasing a new houses is excluded. The final consumption of the government is
also included together with all current expenditure. Their expenditure on fixed assets is also included. The value of the physical increase in
inventories during the course if the year is also included. The summation of all these components is the Total Domestic Expenditure, TDE. Adding up
expenditure on export to the TDE determines the Total Final Expenditure. Subtracting all expenditure on imports from this total results to a measure
known as the GDP at market rate. Subtracting taxes on expenditure levied by the government and adding back the total amount of subsidy leads to
the arrival at a figure known as GDP at factor cost. National income is however affected by interest, rent and profit accruing from abroad and the net
of the property income from abroad ought to be added to the GDP. This leads to the arrival at the GDP at factor cost. GDP can also be arrived at by
using factor incomes in the computation of National Income. Under this approach, the summation of individual incomes arrives at the domestic

To get everything produced by a country's citizens, no matter where they are in the world, you should look at Gross National Product (GNP), also called
Gross National Income (GNI)." (Amadeo,K. n.d) Each month, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), an agency of the U.S. Department of
Commerce, releases an estimate of the level and growth of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), which is the output of goods and services produced by
labor and property located in the United States.
Usually, a recession is when a slowdown in economic activity happens and can cause a decrease in jobs, as well as constricted credit for loans, and
lethargic or disheartened sales overall. To be precise, a recession is defined as a decrease in the nation's total economic activity (the GNP) for two or
more consecutive quarters. We know when a recession occurs because it affects everyone. You might lose your job, be turned down for a loan that you
normally could have gotten etc... The government intervenes by implementing the fiscal policy; it is a type of economical intervention where the
government inserts its guidelines into the economy to either expand the economy's growth or to contract it. They do this by fluctuating the levels of

Gross Income Implications For The Individual Who Accepted...
Gross Income implications for the individual who accepted the bribe:
The definition of gross income per section 1 of the Income Tax Act for any resident is:
the total amount
in cash or otherwise
received by, or accrued to, or in favour of such resident
during such year or period of assessment
excluding receipts and accruals of a capital nature
The bribe of R300 000 meets all the aforementioned requirements of the gross income definition except for whether or not the amount has been
'received by' the senior official during the year of assessment ending 28 February 2015.
The gross income definition requirement of 'received by' is not defined in the Income Tax Act and therefore the following case law principles will be
applied in determining whether the bribe, being illegal income, should be included in the individuals gross income for the current year of assessment.
Cases:
An amount is 'received by' a tax payer if the taxpayer intended to receive the amount for his own benefit irrespective of the legality(legal or illegal) of
such amounts (MP Finance Group CC v CSARS (2007)).
The source of income, legal or illegal, is irrelevant in determining if an amount constitutes gross income. Moreover, illegal receipts are taxable(CIR v
Delagoa Bay Cigarette Co)
In order to constitute a 'receipt' for normal tax purposes, the taxpayer must have received the amount on his own benefit and for his own behalf
(Geldenhuys v CIR).

Measuring Gross Income Data Is A Measure Of Economic Welfare
Evaluate the extent to which Gross Income Data is a measure of economic welfare.
Morven Chan
Economic welfare is defined as the level prosperity and financial satisfaction of participants in an economy. Economic welfare can often be assessed
through statistics such as the level of employment. National income statistics is defined as the value of goods and services produced in an economic
system over a period of time. National Income can be broken down into four different parts which include Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Gross
National Product (GNP), GDP per capita, and GNP per capita. National Income is used for variety of purposes in our economy. Firstly, national income
statistics are important in that most of the government's future ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Therefore as is shown through the expenditure method, the equation for GDP becomes:
GDP=C+G+I+(X–M)
Looking at the equation we can see that the issue arises that from the equation, there is absolutely no calculation which addresses the economic
welfare of the people and thus, as an economic indicator GDP excels, but as a welfare indicator, this could suggest that it may not be the best choice.
Gross national product of a specific country is the sum of the goods and services produced by citizens of a country domestically and the output from
external sources which are owned/part of the specific country. The symbol used to represent gross national product is GNP and the equation for the
GNP can be simply written as:
GNP=GDP+Net property income from abroad
GNP and GDP per capita are the values for GDP and GNP divided by the population of the country. They give an average value for the output of
product per individual in the country. Before looking at the cons of national income statistics, we must first note that there are redeeming points to
using national income. For one, national income does a very good job of representing growth in the economy. However as we know economic growth
is not necessarily always a positive thing.

Gross Domestic Product
I.Introduction
1.Introduction and objectives
The wealth and success of a country is something that theoretically is very hard to measure and quantify. However, tools called Indexes can be
used to report on the past, present or future state of country. The usage for these Indexes is quite obvious: they can be used to benchmark the
situation of a country compared to its peers, create historical trends in order to estimate if any improvements have been made throughout the years in
multiple fields. Of course, they can also be used as political tools for the world leaders for internal purposes (linked to government policies) but also
external policies as it can be a mean to determine the power that a country can have on the international level. The main Index that has been used for
the past 80 years and is still used nowadays to measure the economic wealth is the Gross Domestic Product (or GDP). It is important to remember that
the initial goal of these indexes (and particularly the GDP) is to measure and give a detailed report of the addition, subtraction and multiplication of
certain numbers that compose a country's economy. Therefore, a measurement tool is not an end goal in itself.
Nevertheless, this index became the reason for an international competition between countries to decide which one is the most able to bring this
number to the maximum. This might not be an issue if the GDP was not mainly a measurement of the economic wealth of a country. During the years,

GDP, on top of having several different components, has a few different ways in which it
measures output. Two different measurements that are widely used are Nominal GDP and Real
GDP. The main difference between nominal GDP and real GDP is that nominal GDP doesn 't
adjust for inflation and real GDP does. 2 While real GDP is adjusted for differences in price
levels, nominal GDP when calculated is not and, as a result, will often appear higher and can be
misleading. With measurements that require adjustments, one will always encounter
discrepancies. Gross domestic input or GDI measures the sum of all income earned while
producing goods and services within a nation 's borders. 3 The difference between GDI and GDP
is that GDI calculates economic activity based on income, and GDP calculates economic activity
based on spending. While they are similar, the two measurements use different methods to gauge
the economy and thus, the data collected by GDP and GDI will almost never be the same.
According to Dr. Marilyn Waring in the film Who is Counting?4 As long as activity
passes through the market, it is good for growth. In the film Dr. Waring discusses the major

The Alien Labor Certification Application
The petitioner is structured as an S corporation. The alien labor certification application with a priority date of April 30,2001 filed with the I–140
petition reports a proffered wage in the amount of $35,401.00. The petitioner's tax returns for the years 2001 through 2009 report the following
ordinary business income[ shown on line 21 of page 1 of IRS Form 1120S.]:
2001–$44,478.00
2002–$37,957.00
2003–$38,920.00
2004–$22,355.00
2005–$30,962.00
2006–$94,562.00
2007–$45,661.00

As demonstrated below, the petitioner had the ability to pay the proffered wage to the beneficiary in 2004 and 2005, even if its ordinary business
income for those years was lower than the proffered wage.
Petitioner's ability to pay the proffered wages during the years 2004 and 2005

of compensation of officers[ shown on line 7 of page 1 of IRS Form 1120S.
] as an additional financial resource of the petitioner, in addition to the corporation's ordinary business income, available to to pay the proffered wage

Essay about Principles of Macroeconomics Data Exercise One ECON 201: Principles of Macroeconomics September 5, 2014 To live in an economy that is not negatively impacted by recession, downsizing, or business capsizing would be ideal. The unfortunate reality is that we are faced with economic situations that will be either helpful or hurtful to us all. Over the last few quarters between 2013 and 2014 the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), conducted an analysis that reflects the changes in GDP. During this time the Nominal GDP was much greater than the Real GDP.

It is understood that Nominal GDP is the... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Considering the table above, GNP was higher than the National Income by 2,521.3.

  • 2. The Human Development Index Is a Better Measure of... I will advance the thesis that the Human Development Index (HDI) is a better measure of economic performance than the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita. By saying that the HDI is a better system to measure economic performance, I mean that because the HDI highlights the trend between longevity, education and economic growth, it calculates a better analysis of an economy (Costa, Steckel 1997, p. 71). In contrast, the GDP per capita only accounts for the gross domestic product without paying any attention to other factors of an economy (Hawthorn, Sen 1997, p. 60). With this being said, my thesis asserts that the HDI is a better measure for economic performance because it considers significant factors that play large roles in an ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... As I just defended the importance of considering longevity in an economy, I will now explain why it is imperative to consider education when calculating the development and performance of an economy. To begin, when a population is educated they will have the opportunity to adapt new technology and new ideas to enhance their productivity and output, which is an essential part of competing against other economies in the international arena. To be more specific, when a population is able to adapt new technology and idea they increase their speed of production, which, in turn, increases their output, which means, in simple terms, new technology and ideas increase an economy's growth because it allows them to produce more, faster and trade more, faster. This is best explained in Invest in Humans, Technological Diffusion, and Economic Growth that says, "the better educated farmer is quicker to adopt profitable new processes and products since, for him, the expected payoff from innovation is likely to be greater and the risk likely to be smaller; for he is better able to discriminate between promising and unpromising ideas, and hence les likely to make mistakes (Nelson, Phelps 1966, p.70)", while the less educated farmer is prudent to delay the introduction of new technology until he has concrete evidence of its profitability, which is often from his ...

  • 3. Gross National Income (GNI) I chose to do GNI per capita (PPP 2013) because at first glance I could tell that the numbers would vary a lot more than the other three options. GNI has to do with thousands while the other choices were single digits. Gross national income (GNI) was also a topic I find to be interesting. I think it is beneficial to see each countries individual income and a choropleth map depicts it very well. The first methodology I used for this map the video by Professor Bell. I looked at the tables in the Appendix comparing them and doing a little bit of research to see which one was the most interesting to me. I then opened the Excel sheet and began plugging in the numbers for each country. Once I plugged them in I ordered them from largest to smallest. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. Bruce And Johnston Retirement Case Summary Bruce and Faith Johnston are 64 and 58 respectively and plan to retire within the next 2 years. They have a combined net worth of $456,990 and if they accomplish their goals of paying off their outstanding debt and their mortgage, their net worth will increase. Their current monthly income sums to $5,666 and their total monthly expenses totals to around $4,500 with $1,000 of it as expenses for subsidizing living expenses for their two children as a result of a "late parenthood". With the idea of retiring within the next two years, their main source of income following retirement is the $235,000 in Bruce's company profit sharing plan, and the potential inheritance of $150,000 from Faith's father. Their monthly household expenses include $850 for their mortgage, which has nine years of payments remaining, $400 for property taxes, $300 for utilities, $250 for insurance, and $278 for their new car that still has 48 payments left. With their monthly income totaling $5,666, that leaves only $1,166 a month for various expenses that might pop up and for further investments into Bruce's profit sharing plan. They do not have any cash assets, which is a negative about their financial situation. They also have numerous debts which include their $75,000 mortgage, $13,344 for a car loan, ...

His employer will continue to provide health benefits for Faith for an increased premium of $352 per month. They also have coverage for both their car and home with $300,000 liability limits. The couple does not have disability insurance and at this stage in their life they might not need it. They also do not have an umbrella insurance policy to cover all of their belongings, which I would recommend them looking into instead of just insurance for their home and ...

  • 5. Gross Domestic Product ( Gdp ) Economic Statistics Gross Domestic Product (GDP) economic statistics are one of the most closely watched stats throughout each country. In the charts listed above, the nominal GDP is greater than real GDP in each quarter of 2016 due to the nominal GDP reflecting current GDP at current price and real GDP reflecting current GDP at past year prices. Also, the chart reflects that the nominal GDP was greater than the real GDP for each quarter of 2016 due to the value of the nominal GDP sub–categories (personal consumption expenditures, gross private domestic investments, and government consumption expenditures and gross investment) all being significantly higher than the same sub–categories listed under the real GDP. The nominal GDP reflects the prices that are... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Some differences between the two products are services or the market of goods that are produced for that respective country's economy. However, the GNP does not include the annual foreign production that is inherited by the domestic citizens, whereas the GDP does include the foreign productions that are inherited by its domestic citizens. According to the table above, to determine the GNP and GDP you will calculate the national product total from the national and personal income. National income is the overall annual value of goods and services within a respective country economy. The chart shows that in 2016, the GNP was $7,864.80 higher than the national income. National income is broken down into ten categories (compensation of employees, rents, interest, proprietor's income, corporate income taxes, dividends, undistributed corporate profits, indirect business taxes, consumption of fixed capital and net foreign factor income). However, the employee compensation makes up the largest portion of the national income. In my opinion, I believe this to be true, because the economy is valued by its population and the services that are provided and goods that are sold. This can't happen without having citizens gainfully employed, which in return will need to be compensated for the work they are contributing to their economy. Part III.

In contrast, the lack of economic growth in the poorest countries of the world has meant that living conditions for hundreds of millions of people are appalling by the standards of rich countries; per capita income levels in many 21st–century countries are much lower than they were in 19th–century.To understand why the human race has become so much wealthier and why our wealth is shared so inequitably among the inhabitants of the world, we need to understand what drives economic growth.

  • 7. Definition Of Poverty There are a number of definitions of poverty. It is a multifaceted notion which includes social, economic, and political components. "How we define poverty is critical to politics, policy and academic debates about the concept. It is bound up with explanations and has implications for solutions." (Lister, 2004 as cited in Class notes, 2017). The United Nations, first established in 1945 shortly after the second world war, was created to promote international co–operation and maintain international order (UN, 2017). The global term for poverty is defined by using the Gross National Product (GNP) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Both defined by the World Bank, GNP uses market valuations to measure national income: GNP per capita (each person) gives an indication of the typical material living standards of a nation, whereas, GDP is a measure of the total market value of goods and services output and their economic activity. The United Nations set the bar at the minimum daily income of $1.25 (93 pence) per day (Class notes, 2017). If you are living on less than this you are classed as living in absolute poverty. How poverty is measured is a contested concept and has had researchers long trying to establish a fixed method of determining. The four main concepts are absolute poverty, relative poverty and deprivation, consensual poverty, and social exclusion (Class notes, 2017). The concept of absolute poverty was developed in the 19th century by Joseph Rowntree and was ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 8. Gross Domestic Product Is The Value Of Goods Produced And... Gross Domestic Product, also known as GDP, is defined as the value of goods produced and services provided in a country during one year. Gross Domestic Product is important in the culture of economics because in the United States, we use it to measure the well–being of the economy. Gross Domestic Product is measured in quarters, there are four quarters in one economic year. Say the Gross Domestic Product is down 10% in Quarter One and then in Quarter Two the Gross Domestic Product has gone up by 15%. You subtract 15% from 10% and then you are left with 5%. Therefore, the economy, or the Gross Domestic Product, has grown by 5% since the last quarter. If the Gross Domestic Product was never measured, we as Americans would not know if the economy was growing, shirking, or staying the same. On news channels like FOX News, FOX Business Network, CNN, and MSNBC we hear them talking about the nation's economy and the gross domestic product all the time. On shows like Neil Cavuto, they have guest on the show to discuss the current gross domestic product and how it's either improved or diminished over the past years or quarters.

  • 14. The Gross Domestic Product ( Gdp ) The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) represents the monetary value of all the finished goods and services produced within a country 's geographic borders in a determined period of time. It is used as a quantitative measure of the total economic activity of a nation, and it is usually calculated on an annual basis. The GDP can be determined in three different ways: output or production measure, income measure, and expenditure measure. In theory, it should all give the same number. The output or production approach defines the GDP as the value of the goods and services produced by all sectors of the economy. It is calculated by adding the value of the total sales of goods, minus the intermediate consumption used to produce the final goods sold. The income approach of calculating GDP is defined as the total income earned by the factors of production within an economy. First, you should determine the National Income by adding all the wages, rents, interests, and profits earned within an specific period of time. Then, it is added the value of Sales Taxes, Depreciation and Net Foreign Factor Income, and the final result will be GDP. The expenditure approach identifies four possible destinations for the total production of an economy. This output can be consumed by households, businesses, the governmentor the foreign sector.

Jason Lee Captain Czak History 300 21 October 2016 Cuba Cuba's current gross national income per person of $5,890 (Talley), enormous debt, and other poor economic conditions can be explained by events tracing back post–World War II in 1945. The island of Cuba was inhabited by different Mesoamerican cultures but introduced to European cultures in 1492 with the arrival of Christopher Columbus. Spain began to colonize Cuba among other Caribbean islands in the 16th century and utilized the island as a stopping point before the New World. This all changed when the collapse of Haiti initiated a sugar boom causing Cuba to emerge as a major world sugar producer. Freedom from Spain was finally gained with the help of the United States after the Spanish American War when the Treat of Paris was signed. About three years later, the Platt Amendment was passed which provided the United States control and great influence in Cuba's domestic and international affairs. The United States control was further strengthened after World War II when Fulgencio Batista became President of Cuba in 1952. But this created many issues which fueled the Cuban Revolution ending in 1959 when Fidel Castro overthrew Batista, propelling Cuba into a new era of communism. The period of decolonization for Cuba after World War II sparked a surge of nationalism which helped Fidel Castro dissolve American political, economic, and diplomatic ties as well as establish a communist regime after the Cuban Revolution. ...

This excludes the net income accruing from abroad.

Any expenditure on purchasing a new houses is excluded. The final consumption of the government is also included together with all current expenditure. Their expenditure on fixed assets is also included. The value of the physical increase in inventories during the course if the year is also included. The summation of all these components is the Total Domestic Expenditure, TDE. Adding up expenditure on export to the TDE determines the Total Final Expenditure. Subtracting all expenditure on imports from this total results to a measure known as the GDP at market rate. Subtracting taxes on expenditure levied by the government and adding back the total amount of subsidy leads to the arrival at a figure known as GDP at factor cost. National income is however affected by interest, rent and profit accruing from abroad and the net of the property income from abroad ought to be added to the GDP.

To get everything produced by a country's citizens, no matter where they are in the world, you should look at Gross National Product (GNP), also called Gross National Income (GNI)." (Amadeo,K. n.d) Each month, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, releases an estimate of the level and growth of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), which is the output of goods and services produced by labor and property located in the United States. Usually, a recession is when a slowdown in economic activity happens and can cause a decrease in jobs, as well as constricted credit for loans, and lethargic or disheartened sales overall. To be precise, a recession is defined as a decrease in the nation's total economic activity (the GNP) for two or more consecutive quarters. We know when a recession occurs because it affects everyone. You might lose your job, be turned down for a loan that you normally could have gotten etc...

Gross Income implications for the individual who accepted the bribe: The definition of gross income per section 1 of the Income Tax Act for any resident is: the total amount in cash or otherwise received by, or accrued to, or in favour of such resident during such year or period of assessment excluding receipts and accruals of a capital nature The bribe of R300 000 meets all the aforementioned requirements of the gross income definition except for whether or not the amount has been 'received by' the senior official during the year of assessment ending 28 February 2015. The gross income definition requirement of 'received by' is not defined in the Income Tax Act and therefore the following case law principles will be applied in determining whether the bribe, being illegal income, should be included in the individuals gross income for the current year of assessment. Cases: An amount is 'received by' a tax payer if the taxpayer intended to receive the amount for his own benefit irrespective of the legality(legal or illegal) of such amounts (MP Finance Group CC v CSARS (2007)). The source of income, legal or illegal, is irrelevant in determining if an amount constitutes gross income. Moreover, illegal receipts are taxable(CIR v Delagoa Bay Cigarette Co) In order to constitute a 'receipt' for normal tax purposes, the taxpayer must have received the amount on his own benefit and for his own behalf (Geldenhuys v CIR).

Economic welfare can often be assessed through statistics such as the level of employment. National income statistics is defined as the value of goods and services produced in an economic system over a period of time. National Income can be broken down into four different parts which include Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Gross National Product (GNP), GDP per capita, and GNP per capita.

Therefore as is shown through the expenditure method, the equation for GDP becomes: GDP=C+G+I+(X–M) Looking at the equation we can see that the issue arises that from the equation, there is absolutely no calculation which addresses the economic welfare of the people and thus, as an economic indicator GDP excels, but as a welfare indicator, this could suggest that it may not be the best choice. Gross national product of a specific country is the sum of the goods and services produced by citizens of a country domestically and the output from external sources which are owned/part of the specific country. The symbol used to represent gross national product is GNP and the equation for the GNP can be simply written as: GNP=GDP+Net property income from abroad GNP and GDP per capita are the values for GDP and GNP divided by the population of the country. They give an average value for the output of product per individual in the country. Before looking at the cons of national income statistics, we must first note that there are redeeming points to using national income.

  • 44. Gross Domestic Product I.Introduction 1.Introduction and objectives The wealth and success of a country is something that theoretically is very hard to measure and quantify. However, tools called Indexes can be used to report on the past, present or future state of country. The usage for these Indexes is quite obvious: they can be used to benchmark the situation of a country compared to its peers, create historical trends in order to estimate if any improvements have been made throughout the years in multiple fields. Of course, they can also be used as political tools for the world leaders for internal purposes (linked to government policies) but also external policies as it can be a mean to determine the power that a country can have on the international level. The main Index that has been used for the past 80 years and is still used nowadays to measure the economic wealth is the Gross Domestic Product (or GDP). It is important to remember that the initial goal of these indexes (and particularly the GDP) is to measure and give a detailed report of the addition, subtraction and multiplication of certain numbers that compose a country's economy. Therefore, a measurement tool is not an end goal in itself. Nevertheless, this index became the reason for an international competition between countries to decide which one is the most able to bring this number to the maximum. This might not be an issue if the GDP was not mainly a measurement of the economic wealth of a country. During the years, new ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The main difference between nominal GDP and real GDP is that nominal GDP doesn 't adjust for inflation and real GDP does. 2 While real GDP is adjusted for differences in price levels, nominal GDP when calculated is not and, as a result, will often appear higher and can be misleading. With measurements that require adjustments, one will always encounter discrepancies. Gross domestic input or GDI measures the sum of all income earned while producing goods and services within a nation 's borders. 3 The difference between GDI and GDP is that GDI calculates economic activity based on income, and GDP calculates economic activity based on spending. While they are similar, the two measurements use different methods to gauge the economy and thus, the data collected by GDP and GDI will almost never be the same.
