Net domestic product d. Profit

Explanation / Answer

6) Labor force is 1,200,000 and unemployment = 1,200,000 - 1,000,000 = 200,000. Unemployment rate = 200,000*100/1,200,000 = 16.67%

LFPR = LF/population over 16 years = 1,200,000*100/2,000,000 = 60%

7) GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government purchases + Net exports = 1344 + 456 + 480 + 24 = 2304

Gross national product = GDP + Net factor income abroad = 2304 + 5 = 2309

NDP = GDP - depreciation = 2304 - 278 = 2026

Profit = GDP - Employee compensation - rent - interest = 2304 - 1520 - 2 - 376 = 406
