Solution

a. The value of exports is not provided in the table.

b. National income is calculated as the sum of compensation of employees, rents, proprietor's income, corporate profits, and net interest. So, it is 223billion+223 billion + 14 billion + 33billion+33 billion + 56 billion + 13billion=13 billion = 339 billion.

c. GDP is calculated as the sum of personal consumption expenditures, gross private domestic investment, government purchases, and net exports. So, it is 245billion+245 billion + 33 billion + 72billion+72 billion + 11 billion = $361 billion.

d. Personal income is calculated as national income plus transfer payments, social security contributions, and personal interest income, minus taxes. So, it is 339billion+339 billion + 12 billion + 20billion+20 billion + 13 billion - 26billion=26 billion = 358 billion.
