all of these

The correct answer is option 4: all of these

Under the value-added method of calculating national income, the following elements are excluded from the output of the enterprise:

  • Raw material consumption: This is not included because the value added is calculated by subtracting the cost of raw materials from the total output. Raw materials are considered an intermediate input.
  • Capital consumption: Also known as depreciation, this is excluded when calculating value added as it represents the wear and tear on capital goods used in the production process.
  • Expenditure on input used in the production process: This includes costs of intermediate goods and services used to produce final goods, which are deducted to determine the value added.
