National income calculation problem

CFA Level I Economics
#1

Hi, from what I understood, National Income was equal to :
National income = GDP - Capital consumption allowance - statistical discrepancy

and I am seeing the same thing on analystprep. Now I just did a question from the CFAI curriculum and it stated that :
National income = GDP + Capital consumption allowance

Is this a mistake from CFAI? What is the correct formula?

Thanks

If it’s the infamous problem circulating around AF from time to time, it looks like a mistake. You subtract the CCA as per the formula.

Thank you, after doing other questions and seeing the formula change again I realised that it was a mistake. Makes you wonder why they have yet to update these…
