Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
(A) Gross domestic income is a subset of national income -> FALSE. GDI measures income earned within domestic boundaries, while national income is derived after adjustments from GNP. They are different concepts, not subset relationships.
(B) Corporate profit tax is a factor income earned by the government -> FALSE. Corporate profit tax is a tax revenue/transfer payment to the government, not a factor income. Factor incomes include wages, rent, interest, and profits earned by factors of production.
(C) The production of wheat by a farmer retained by himself for his self-consumption will be included in the national income -> TRUE. Self-consumption of own production is valued at market prices and included in national income calculations as it represents actual production.
(D) All capital goods are producer goods, but all producer goods are not necessarily capital goods -> TRUE. Capital goods (machinery, buildings) are durable producer goods. However, producer goods also include intermediate goods (raw materials, semi-finished goods) which are consumed in production and are not capital goods.
Hence, Option 4: (C) and (D) only -> Statements C and D are correct. Self-consumed production is included in national income accounting, and while all capital goods serve as producer goods, the category of producer goods is broader and includes intermediate goods that are not classified as capital goods -> correct
