(i) National income is of great importance for the economy of a country.
(ii) National income helps us to know the relative importance and contribution of each sector. We could find how income is produced, how it is distributed, how much is spent, saved or taxed.

(iv) Data regarding gross income, output, saving & consumption is used in economic planning.
(v) National income data is used to build economic models in short run and long run.
(vi) It is used to make international comparison, inter - regional comparison and inter - temporal comparison of growth of the economy during different periods.

(v) Production of war goods will increase output but not welfare.
(vi) If more women and children are employed or workers are forced to work for long hours economic welfare is affected.

6.
(i) To avoid double counting, either the value of the final output should be taken into the estimate of GNP or the sum of values added should be taken.
(ii) The value of the final product is derived by the summation of all the values added in the productive process.
(iii) Any commodity which is either raw material or intermediate good should not be included.

(iii) Second hand goods, purchase of shares and bonds, transfer payments and expenditure on intermediate goods must not be included.
8.
