Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
The aggregate value of goods and services produced in an economy is measured as national income or GDP. It can be calculated by three equivalent approaches: the expenditure method adds final spending, the income method adds factor incomes, and the product or output method adds value added at each stage of production. Hence, expenditure method, income method, and product method are all used, so statements I, II and III are correct.
