E. Inventories is not part of total expenditure.
F. The equality between total production, income and expenditure does not hold if different set of
prices are used.
Answer Key:A, C, F
Feedback:The equality between total production, income and expenditure is an example of an
identical equality and it is one of the most important identities in the national accounts. The factors of
production are used by firms to generate production and in return the factros of production receives
wages, rent, profits and interest. The value of production is equal to what is paid out to the factors of
production as income. In the economy firms generate production and in return receives payment
(total expenditure) for the goods and services. It total production increases more than sales
inventories increases. If different sets of prices are used total production, total income and total
expenditure will differ. Inventories is part of investment which is part of total production. If total
production increases less than total sales then inventories decreases. In the national accounts total
income = total production = total expenditure
