    Question

    The difference between GDP and GNP is due

    to:
    A Depreciation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Indirect taxes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Net factor income from abroad Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Current transfers Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Subsidies Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    GDP counts total production within domestic territory, regardless of who produces it. GNP adjusts for Net Factor Income from Abroad (NFIA) —income earned by residents abroad minus income earned domestically by non-residents. Hence, GNP = GDP + NFIA. For India, NFIA is typically negative since more foreign capital earns income domestically than Indians earn abroad.
