Economic Evaluation Assignment - Course Name - Semester Details

This economics assignment focuses on economic evaluation, particularly analyzing Gross Domestic Product (GDP), investment, and consumption. It involves calculating GDP deflator, analyzing the impact of investment proposals, and determining the value of goods sold to final consumers. The assignment also explores the relationship between consumption, saving, and income, as well as the concept of the investment multiplier. It calculates nominal and real GDP, and analyzes the impact of government spending. The assignment provides a comprehensive analysis of economic indicators and their interrelationships, offering insights into economic performance and policy implications.

ECONOMIC EVALUATION
From the theory of national income accounting,
Real GDP= Nominal GDP
GDP deflator ∗100
GDP deflator= Nominal GDP
Real GDP ∗100
Calculation for GDP deflator
GDP deflator = ∑ (QCurrent year∗PCurrent year )
∑ (QCurrent year ¿ ¿ Pbase year)¿ *100
Given base year for GDP deflator as 2017,
GDP defl ator for 2007= ( 10∗20 )+ (10∗30 ) +(20∗20)
( 10∗30 ) + ( 10∗20 ) +(20∗20) * 100 ¿ 900

GDP deflator for 2012= ( 15∗20 )+ ( 20∗10 )+(3 0∗20)

For the upper loop, data is not sufficient to calculate gross investment.
For the lower loop, data for cost of capital is missing.

GDP=C+ I +G+ ( X−M )
C = 800, I= 200, G =200, ( X-M) = -100
Therefore, GDP2012=800+200+200−100=1100

GDP=Market values of final goods + Indirect tax−subsidies
Values of output sold to the final consumers are included in GDP calculation. For industry III,
there are no final goods sold to the market. Therefore, final goods value of industry I and
industry II are considered.
Total value of goods = 600+ 300= 900.
Indirect tax = 100

Proposal A
Both the proposals are to be of 20 bn (2012 prices). Investments are likely to be done in 2017.
Therefore, ∆ I ( 2017 prices ) = ∆ I ( 2012 )∗Deflator2017
