Explanation / Answer

I.

GDP at MP = C+I+G+net export.

=Expenditure for consumer goods and services

+Gross investment+Government purchase of goods and services  

+Exports-Import

=$2,850+700+$810+300-450   

=$4,210

II. Net domestic product

NDP at FC= GDP - Depreciation - Indirect business taxes

=GDP - ( gross investment - net investment) -$445

=$4,210 -( 700-510) -445

=$4,210 - 190-445

=$3,575

III. National income

NNP FC= NDP at FC + Net foreign factor income

=$3,575+0

=$3,575

IV Personal income= National income - Undistributed corporate profit - Corporate taxes - social security contributions + transfer payments + interest on public debt

=$3,575 -$210-$190- $295+$780+$20

=$3,680
