Dear Student,
Computation of Gross National Product at Market Price (GNP at MP)
Income Method:
GNP at MP = Compensation of employees + Mixed Income of Self-Employed + Corporation Tax + Undistributed Profits + Dividends + Interest + Rent + Current Replacement + Net Indirect Taxes – Net Factor Income to Abroad
GNP at MP = 1200 + 800 + 50 + 150 + 70 + 100 + 80 + 50 + 100 – 20
= 2,580
Expenditure Method:
GNP at MP = Government Final Consumption Expenditure + Private Final Consumption Expenditure + Gross Capital Formation + Net Exports – Net Factor Income to Abroad
GNP at MP = 730 + 1,580 + 300 + (–10) – 20
= 2,580
Notes: (i) Employers' Contribution to Social Security Schemes is already included in Compensation of Employess
(ii) Gross Capital Formation already includes Change in Stock
Regards
