Income Method of Calculating National Income
As per this Method
We calculate factor income earned by all factors of production
Like Rent, Interest, Wages and Salaries, Profit etc
Sum total of this is equal to NDP FC(Domestic Income)
In this ,we add, NFIA (Net factor income from Abroad) to arrive at National Income
Format
Calculation of National Income | |
Different Factor Incomes | |
Rent | 10 |
Royalty | 50 |
Interest | 30 |
Compensation to Employees | 40 |
Profit | 20 |
Mixed Income | 30 |
Total (Domestic Income NDP FC ) | 180 |
Add NFIA | 20 |
NNP FC (National income) | 200 |
Note
In the above method,
We do not deduct Depreciation and Net indirect Taxes
Total of All Incomes is equal to Domestic income
In this, we add Net Factor Income from Abroad to arrive at National Income (NDPFC)
Components of Factor income
Rent
It refers to that part of National Income which arises from ownership of land and Building
In easy language, it is income earned by landlord from tenant by giving his property on lease
Royalty
It is the income earned by granting leasing right of subsoil assets
Subsoil assets means assets which are found inside the earth Example-Coal, Petroleum, Mineral Reserves
Example - A mining company takes a mine on lease from Govt against which it pays Rs 20 lacs per year
This 20 lacs amount is Royalty Income of Government
Interest
It includes interest income earned by lending funds to production units only
Example - Loan taken by a Factory from Bank to Purchase Machine
Note
It does not include interest on
Loan taken by public for consumption purpose (Personal Loan)
Loan taken by Govt from Public (Interest on Govt bonds)
Loan taken by one firm to another (inter company loans)
Compensation to Employees
It refers to total amount paid by employer to employee for rendering production services
It includes
Wages and Salaries (paid in cash)
Amount paid in kind (Any non monetary benefit given)
Employer Contribution to Social Security Schemes (Example - PF ESI Employer Contribution)
However, it does not include
Any Reimbursement of Office Expenses (Example-Travelling expenses of employee for office work reimbursed)
Any facility which is compulsory for the employee (Example-Compulsory uniform for employee)
Employee Contribution to Social securities (PF,ESI)
Profit
It is the amount earned by entrepreneur for his services
Out of this profit, some amount is paid as income tax to Government (Called Corporation tax)
Balance is distributed as Dividend to Shareholders
or Retained for future use (called Retained Earning)
Hence, Profit=Corporate Tax + Dividend + Retained Earning
Mixed Income
It is income earned by own account workers (Self employed, small businessman, farmers etc)
They contribute entrepreneurship as well as land, capital etc
So income earned by them is mixture of Rent income + Profit + Interest Income etc
Hence, it is called Mixed Income
How is Domestic Income Calculated
It is some total of all factor Incomes
Domestic income= Rent + Royalty + Interest + Compensation to employees + Profit + Mixed Income
NDP at FC= Rent+ Royalty + Interest + Compensation to employees + Profit + Mixed Income
How is National Income Calculated
We add NFIA to Domestic Income to arrive at National Income
Example 20
Calculate NDP at FC.
Particulars | ₹ in Crores |
(i) Rent | 400 |
(ii) Royalty | 200 |
(iii) Interest | 500 |
(iv) Compensation of Employees | 1,000 |
(v) Profit | 500 |
(vi) Mixed Income | 1,000 |
Answer
Particulars | Amount (In Crores) |
Different Factor Incomes | |
Rent | 400 |
Royalty | 200 |
Interest | 500 |
Compensation to Employees | 1000 |
Profit | 500 |
Mixed Income | 1000 |
Total (Domestic Income NDP FC ) | 3600 |
NOTE
Sometimes in question,
Compensation to employees and Wages and Salaries are both given
In this case, wages and salaries are not to be taken
We take only compensation to employee
(Compensation to employees include wages and salaries as well as amount paid in kind and employer contribution to social welfare scheme)
Example 23
From the following data, calculate National Income.
Particulars | ₹ in Crores |
(i) Compensation of employees | 800 |
(ii) Rent | 200 |
(iii) Wages and salaries | 750 |
(iv) Net exports | (-) 30 |
(v) Net Factor income from abroad | (-) 20 |
(vi) Profit | 300 |
(vii) Interest | 100 |
(viii) Depreciation | 50 |
Answer
Particulars | Amount (In Crores) |
Different Factor Incomes | |
Rent | 200 |
Interest | 100 |
Compensation to Employees | 800 |
Profit | 300 |
Total (Domestic Income NDP FC ) | 1400 |
Add NFIA | -20 |
NNP FC (National income) | 1380 |
Note
In Income Method
We do not reduce Depreciation
as we calculate NDP at FC Directly
NDP at FC= Rent + Royalty + Interest + Compensation to employees + Profit + Mixed Income
What is Operating Surplus
It is total of income from property + Income from entrepreneurship
Operating Surplus =Income from Property +Income from Entrepreneurship
Operating Surplus =(Rent + Royalty + Interest) +(Profit)
How to Calculate Domestic income using Operating Surplus
Domestic income= Rent + Royalty + Interest + Compensation to employees + Profit + Mixed Income
Domestic income= Rent+ Royalty + Interest + Profit + Compensation to employees + Mixed Income
Domestic income=Operating Surplus + Compensation to employees + Mixed Income
Example 22
Calculate National Income.
Particulars | Amt in Crores |
(i) Compensation of employees | 13,300 |
(ii) Wages in kind | 200 |
(iii) Indirect taxes | 3,800 |
(iv) Gross domestic fixed capital formation | 6,200 |
(v) Operating surplus | 5,000 |
(vi) Mixed income of self employed | 16,100 |
(vii) Net factor income from abroad | 300 |
(viii) Net exports | (-) 100 |
Answer
Calculation of National Income | |
Different Factor Incomes | |
Operating Surplus | 5000 |
Compensation to Employees | 13300 |
Mixed Income | 16100 |
Total (Domestic Income NDP FC ) | 34400 |
Add NFIA | 300 |
NNP FC (National income) | 34700 |
Note
In income method format,
we do not take Net exports, Indirect tax and Gross domestic Capital formation
We will study about Gross domestic Capital formation in Expenditure method
