INTRODUCTION



National income is the sum of the money value of all the commodities and services produced in a country within a particular period of time usually one year.



The question of how an economy grows could come to mind at this juncture. It the amount of goods and services produced by an economy increases. If it does not increase yearly, it is not growing, even if it is growing, the rate of growth may not be uniform among years. Therefore it may not be possible to determine the condition of the economy.



In any case, an economy needs an indicator for measuring economy growth, this indicator is the monetary summation at all the commodities and service produced in an economy within a particular period of time usually a year.



To get national income of a country like Nigeria for instance, we take the list of the goods and services produced in the country during the year, assign values to them and add up. If we can do this year after year, we shall be able to make comparison of activities of Nigeria year after year. Then we can decisively determine whether the economy of Nigeria is growing, declining or stagnant. It is growing if the National income increases year after year, declining, if the National income is decreasing and stagnant it there is no difference in the National Income for years.



In measuring National Income, an indicator called Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is used at current price. It is therefore quite important here to point out the role that prices could play in the measurement of National Income. Prices of goods and services changes from time to time. These changes can affect any attempted estimates. Considerably. Therefore to get an idea of the real physical change in National Income from year to year, effect of price changes must be removed.
