Which of the following indicates the sum total of Net National Product at market prices and other current transfers from the rest of the world:

  1. Private Income.
  2. National Disposable Income.
  3. Gross Value Added.
  4. Transferred Income.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1 -> Private Income refers to income received by the private sector (households and enterprises), not the sum of NNP and transfers.

Option 2 -> National Disposable Income is defined as NNP at market prices plus net current transfers from abroad, which matches the question.

Option 3 -> Gross Value Added measures production value minus intermediate consumption, not related to transfers.

Option 4 -> Transferred Income is not a standard national income accounting term.


Hence, National Disposable Income -> National Disposable Income (NDI) is calculated as Net National Product at Market Prices + Net Current Transfers from Rest of the World. It represents the total income available to a nation for final consumption and saving. Net current transfers include items like remittances, gifts, and grants received from abroad minus those sent abroad. This measure shows the actual income that residents of a country can dispose of, making it a comprehensive indicator of a nation's command over resources -> correct
