i. Exports.
ii. Direct purchases made abroad by resident households.
iii. Final consumption expenditure of non-profit institutions serving households.
iv. Change in stocks.

Answer
i. Government final Consumption Expenditure = i - iii - vii - xi + v + viii - vi
= 7100 - 1000 - 4000 - 500 + 200 + 300 - 100
= ₹ 2,000 crores
Mixed Income of Self Employed = i - x - xii - vi
= 7100 - 1500 - 3000 - 100
= ₹ 2500 crores
As per given solution when we calculate GFCE, first we calculate gdp at mp or ndp at mp then we used expenditure method format.
Same as when we calculate Mixed Income then first we calculate ndp at fc then we used income method format.
ii. i. Exports will not be included in private final consumption expenditure as exports do not reflect consumption expenditure by residents.
ii. It will be included in private final consumption expenditure as such purchases are meant for consumption.
iii. It will be included in private final consumption expenditure as non-profit institutions serving households are a component of household sector.
iv. It will not be included in private final consumption expenditure as it is a component of capital formation.

Answer
Answer the following questions:
$i.$ Net Domestic Product at Factor Cost $( \text{NDP} _{\text {FC }}) =$  Compensation of Employees $+$ Rent  $+$ Interest $+$ Corporate Tax $+$ Undistributed Profits $+$ Dividend 
$=900+200+400+100+50+250$
$=\text { Rs. } 1,900 $ crores 
$\text { *NOTE : }$
Profit $=$ Corporate Tax $+$ Undistributed Profits $+$ Dividend 
$ii$. Net Domestic Product at Market Price is
$\left( \text{NDP} _{ mp }\right)=$ Private Final Consumption Expenditure $+$ Government Final Consumption Expenditure $+$ Net Domestic Fixed Capital Formation $+$ Change in Stocks $+$ Net Exports
$= 600 + 100 + 70 + (-10) + (-20)$
$= 700 + 70 - 30$
$= 700 + 40$
$= RS. 740$ crores
National Income or Net National Product at factor cost is:
$( \text{NNP}_\text{fc })= \text{NDP} _{ mp }+$ Net Factor Income from Abroad $-$ Net Indirect Tax
$= 740 + (-10) - 60$
$= 740 - 70$
$= Rs. 670$ crores
National product is calculated by adding net factor income from abroad and domestic product and to get national product at factor cost we subtract net indirect taxes from it.
