Which of the following is the correct formula for calculating NNP?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. NNP=GNP−Depreciation.
GNP (Gross National Product) is the total economic output produced by the residents of a country, including income earned by residents from overseas investments, minus income earned within the domestic economy by foreign residents.
- Depreciation reflects the decline in the value of capital assets as time passes.
- So, NNP gives a clearer picture of the economic health by accounting for the reduction in the value of capital assets.
