Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Transfer payments are funds paid to individuals that are not associated with the production of goods and services. They are not included in the government purchases section of the GDP accounts because nothing is being produced in return for the payment. However they do show up in the accounts indirectly when they are spent (and saved) by their recipients; thus they do appear in the consumption (and saving) section of the accounts.
