Question:

What constitutes the part of national income?

Options:

Old age pension

Employees contribution to social security schemes

Sale of second hand cars

None of the above

Correct Answer:

None of the above

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4:None of the above

  1. Old age pension: Old age pension refers to regular payments made to retired individuals, usually by the government or pension plans. This payment represents a transfer of income and is not included in national income.

  2. Employees' contribution to social security schemesNot included. Employee's own contribution is deducted from their salary; it's not an extra payment by the employer. Thus, it is not separately added in national income. (Only employer's contribution to social security is included.)

  3. Second-hand cars: Second-hand cars represent the sale of used goods and are typically not included in national income calculations. National income focuses on the production of new goods and services within a country's borders during a specific period.
