Gross investment Less Depreciaton Net Investment 1500000 200000 1300000 --> No it is Accounting Expense,Not Real Expense ThenWhy it is Reduced while Calculatin Net Investment? Net Investmen means Actual Amount spent on Increasing Production note In an economy,there are thousands of enterprises purchasing capital goods (fixed assets). Many purchase these for increasing Production Some purchase these for replacing existing fixed asset The amount spent on replacing fixed asset is more or less equal to Depreciation recorded by all enterprises Hence,Depreciation is reduced from Gross Investment to arrive at Net Investment Example-Why Deprecation is Reduced while Calculating Deprecation Example Suppose there are 3 firms in Economy They purchase machine as follows 100 600 200 900 This Purchase is for Increasing production This Purchase is for Increasing production -->This Purchase is for Replacing existing Machine What is Gross Investment, Depreciation and Net Investment of Economy?

Net Investment means Actual amount spent on increasing Production in an economy In an economy, there are thousands of enterprises purchasing capital goods (fixed assets). Many purchase these for increasing Production Some purchase these for replacing existing fixed asset The amount spent on replacing fixed asset is more or less equal to Depreciation recorded by all enterprises Hence, Depreciation is reduced from Gross Investment to arrive at Net Investment NCERT Questions No questions in this part Other Books Q1 When ___ is subtracted from gross investment, we get Net Investment. -a- depreciation -ea- Q2 State true or false with reasons. 1. Gross investment is equal to net investment. -a- True It is possible if depreciation is equal to 0. -ea- Q3 Define depreciation. -a- The fall in the value of fixed assets due to Normal wear and tear, obsolescence and passage of time is known as Depreciation. -ea- Q4 'Gross investment is zero when net investment is zero.' Defend or refute. -a- This statement is refuted because gross investment is not 0 when net investment is 0. Net Investment = Gross Investment - Depreciation (Taking Net Investment = 0) 0 = Gross Investment - Depreciation Depreciation = Gross Investment From this equation, we can see Gross Investment = Depreciation when Net Investment is 0 -ea-
