Initially, he is stuck on an island without the wisdom and local knowledge of Friday. Because Crusoe is a proper Englishman, he wants to keep his accounts. This year, he catches and eats 2,000 fish valued at one British pound (£) each, grows and eats 4,000 coconuts valued at 0.5 British pounds each, and makes two huts (housing) valued at 200 pounds each.

Now, using the following:
a. If government purchases are zero and there is no trade, what is C for Crusoe? What is I? What is Y? (We are going to start using those letters as if they mean something).

b. Next year, RC learns of a tribe on a nearby island who are willing to trade with him: If he gives fish, they give clams. He produces just as much fish as before, but he trades 500 of the 2,000 fish and receives 10,000 clams valued at 5 clams per British pound.

What is the NEW British pound values of: the exported fish? the imported clams? What are C, and I? What is GDP (Y) now?

c. The following year, Crusoe produces the same as in every other year, but a tribe on the other side of the island steals his newly produced two huts, and gives him nothing in return. What are C, I, X, and Y now?

a) C = £4000

I = £400

Y = £4400

b) New value of exported fishes = £2000

New value of imported clams = £500

C = £5500

I = £400

Y = £4400

c) C = £4000

I = £400

X = -£400

Y = £4000

Explanation:

Using the national spending approach.

Y = C + I + G + NX

Y = GDP

C = Consumer purchases

I = Investment purchases

G = Government purchases

NX = Total Exports - Total Imports

a) C = (2000 × 1) + (4000 × 0.5) = 2000 + 2000 = £4000 (the fishes and coconuts are consumer purchases)

I = (200 × 2) = £400 (the two huts he built are investment purchases)

G = 0 (no government purchase)

NX = X = 0 (no import or export)

Y = 4000 + 400 = £4400

b) He sells 500 fishes and gets 10000 clams. Clams are valued at 5 clams per pound.

New value of the exported fish = worth of the clams obtained in return for the fishes sold

5 clams = £1

10000 clams = (10000×1/5) = £2000

New value of the imported clams = worth of fishes exchanged for the clams

1 fish = £1

500 fishes = £500

C = (1500 × 1) + (4000 × 0.5) + (10000×0.2) = 1500 + 2000 + 2000 = £5500 (Number of local fish purchase reduces by 500, and the 10000 clams add to consumer purchases for the economy)

I = (200 × 2) = £400

G = 0

NX = £500 - £2000

Y = C + I + G + (X)

Y = 5500 + 400 + 0 + (-1500) = £4400

c) A tribe steals his newly produced huts and give him nothing in return

C = (2000 × 1) + (4000 × 0.5) = £4000

I = (200 × 2) = £400

G = 0

X = -(200 × 2) = -£400 (he gets nothing in return from the export of the houses)

Y = 4000 + 400 + 0 - 400 = £4000

the u.s. census bureau produces data on the population and economy nationwide. it can you to analyze the kind of people living in your neighborhood. it does not show you the market of people willing to buy your product or an existing market for your product. that will require more market research. the census bureau only gives you an insight to the demographics in your area.
