Gross National Product (GNP)

GNP is measure most often used todetermine how well the economy is faring; government and business alike____(1)____. What does GNP include? If the retail prices of all the goods andservices produced during the year were added up, the figure arrived at would bethe gross national product for that year.

There are three different approaches todetermining gross national product. All three will yield the same answer,because each is doing the same thing-measuring the total value of goods andservices produced in the nation during the year. The first approach is totalingup the final market price of retail value of all production. This approach iseasy to understand because it follows exactly the definition of GNP-the valueof the nation's production, or product, _____(2)_____.

It is also possible to look at GNP from thepoint of view of goods and services bought rather than produced. This method iscalled the expenditures approach; it involves recording ____(3)____.

About two-thirds of all expenditures in themarketplace are for consumer goods and services and are made by families buyingto satisfy their needs. Economists call these household purchases personalconsumption expenditures.

The second largest buyer in the marketplace isgovernment. Government at all level's accounts for over one-fifth of totalexpenditures.

Investment expenditures made by businessaccount for most of the remaining purchases. Under this category are allpurchases of capital goods (such as machinery and equipment), all construction(including homes), and the differences between inventories at the beginning ofthe year and at the end of the year.

The final and smallest item in the expenditureapproach is net foreign investment. The total for this category is calculatedby adding together all the expenditures ____(4)____ and subtracting from thatamount the total of all U.S. purchases made abroad.

The third method of determining GNP is byanalyzing income. Because the factors of production are responsible for themaking of goods and services, it is possible to determine GNP by adding up allthe payments made to those involved in this production. The sum of all wages,salaries, interest, rent, and profits, plus indirect business taxes and capitalconsumption, must be calculated. The resulting total represents the payment, orincome, side of the goods and services produced. This figure is most frequentlyreferred to _____(5)_____. However, the gross national income should equal thegross national product.

练习：

C use it to determine their future policies andplans

D based on foreign investments

E made by foreign countries in the UnitedStates
