Select the correct statements in the context of measuring national income by product method.

A. It calculates the aggregate annual value of goods and services produced in the country.

B. The value added is a stock variable.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

The product method aggregates the annual value of goods and services produced (A). Value added of a firm equals its value of production minus intermediate goods used (D), and this value added is distributed among its factors of production as factor payments (C). Statement B is incorrect because value added is a flow variable, measured over a period of time, not a stock. Hence A, C and D only.
