Suppose that Alberta imposes a sales tax of 10 percent on all goods and services. An Albertan named Ralph then goes into a home improvement store in the provincial capital of Edmonton and buys a leaf blower that is priced at $200. With the 10 percent sales tax, his total comes to $220.
How much of the $220 paid by Ralph will be counted in the national income and product accounts as private income (employee compensation, rents, interest, proprietors' income, and corporate profits)?
