On the basis of the following hypothetical data, calculate the percentage change in Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the year $\displaystyle 2022$ – $\displaystyle 23$, using $\displaystyle 2020$ – $\displaystyle 21$ as the base year.
(All figures in ₹ crore)
| Year | Nominal GDP | Nominal GDP (Adjusted to Base Year Price) |
| $\displaystyle 2020$ – $\displaystyle 21$ | $\displaystyle 3,000$ | $\displaystyle 5,000$ |
| $\displaystyle 2022$ – $\displaystyle 23$ | $\displaystyle 4,000$ | $\displaystyle 6,000$ |
Marking-scheme solution
Steps pertaining to the estimation of National Income under the Income method:
1. Identify and classify production units into distinct heads namely primary, secondary and tertiary sector.
2. Estimate and classify the factor income in different categories as Compensation of Employees, Operating Surplus and Mixed Income. The sum of factor income represents the contribution of the sectors to Domestic Income (NDP$\displaystyle _{FC}$).
3. Finally, estimate and add the value of Net Factor Income from Abroad (NFIA) to arrive at National Income (NNP$\displaystyle _{FC}$).
Percentage change in Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the year $\displaystyle 2022$-$\displaystyle 23$
= $\displaystyle \dfrac{\text{Change in Real GDP}}{\text{Real GDP}}$ x $\displaystyle 100$
= $\displaystyle \dfrac{6000 - 5000}{5000}$ x $\displaystyle 100$
