There are two firms in an economy. Firm A gives Rs. 20 to the workers as wages, and keeps the remaining 30 as its profits. Similarly, firm B gives 60 as wages and keeps 90 as profits. Calculate GDP?

  1. Rs. 200
  2. Rs. 120
  3. Rs. 50
  4. Rs. 150

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Option 1 -> GDP = Sum of all factor incomes (wages + profits) from both firms.

Option 2 -> This incorrectly adds only some components, missing the total contribution.

Option 3 -> This represents only Firm A's contribution (20+30=50).

Option 4 -> This represents only Firm B's contribution (60+90=150).


Hence, Option 1: Rs. 200 -> Using the income approach, GDP = Total wages + Total profits. Firm A contributes (20+30) = Rs. 50 and Firm B contributes (60+90) = Rs. 150. Therefore, GDP = 50 + 150 = Rs. 200. The income approach sums all factor incomes (wages, profits, rent, interest) earned in the production process, which equals the total value of output produced in the economy. -> correct
