Answer #1

To compare Indian and US per capita income using PPP we need many data such as GDP and Total population, to calculate per capita GDP and other datas like prices of different goods (a common bundle) in both the countries to calculate the PPP exchange rate.

Firstly we will divide the GDP of both the countries with their respective population to get per capita income and then this per capita income is converted to dollar using the PPP exchange rate, the unit derived will be called as international dollars. This will show the purchasing power of Indian income in terms of the prices that prevails in the US. So now if we compare the per capita income of the two countries then it will be real comparison and will show original conditions prevailing in these two countries.
