Calculating GNP/GNI
Calculating GNP

GNP = GDP + Net Factor Income (Net income inflow from


abroad – Net income outflow to foreign countries)

Net Factor Income

Difference between the factor income earned from abroad by


normal residents of a country and the factor income earned
by non-residents (foreigners) in the domestic territory of that
country.
Compute the GNP of the Taiwan with a GDP
of 550M in 2010-2011, with an attributes of
net income from African employees of 150M
in the country and 250M net income of
Taiwanese working in Africa.
GNP= GDP+ Net Factor Income
= 550 million + (250 million + (- 150 million) )
GNP= 650 million

GNP= 650 million


A country possess a yearly gross national
product of 340 million. Part of it includes a
gross domestic product of 330 million and an
income inflow of 80 million. How much is the
country’s net income outflow?
GNP= GDP+ Net Factor Income(Net income inflow from abroad – Net income outflow to foreign countries)
340 million = 330 million + ( 80 million -outflow )
340 million = 410 million –outflow
340 million-410 million=-outflow
-70 million= -outflow
outflow= 70 million

Net income outflow to foreign countries= 70 million


Australia earned a yearly gross national
product of 499 billion, gross domestic product
of 470 billion and an income outflow of 10
billion. How much is the country’s net income
inflow?

GNP= GDP+ Net Factor Income(Net income inflow from abroad – Net income outflow to foreign countries)
499 billion = 470 billion + ( inflow + (-10 billion) )
499 billion = 460 billion + inflow
499 billion-460 billion= inflow
39 billion = inflow

Net income inflow to foreign countries= 39billion


Approaches in Calculating GDP

1. Expenditure Approach

GDP= C + G + I + (X - M)

GDP = C + G + I + (X - M)
GDP = $304 + $156 + $124 + $18
GDP = $602

Approaches in Calculating GDP

2. Income Approach

GDP = NI + Indirect Business Taxes + Depreciation

NI = W + R + i + PR
GDP = $492 + $74 + $36
NI = $67 + $75 + $150 + $200 GDP = $602
NI = $492
