For an open economy, the value of national income (Y) of the economy is given by which of the following expression:
(C represents consumption, I represents investment, G represents govt. expenditure, X represents total exports, M represents total imports)
|
Y = C + I + G + X
|
Y = C + I + G – X + M
|
Y = C + I + G + (X – M)
|
Y = C + I + G + X
|
National Income is consumption + Investment + govt. expenditure + exports – imports
So option C is answer.
