Which of the following correctly defines Gross National Product at Market Prices (GNPMP)?
Which of the following correctly defines Gross National Product at Market Prices (GNPMP)?
Solution
Option 1 -> This defines GDP (Gross Domestic Product), not GNP, as it refers to production 'within the economic territory' rather than by residents.
Option 2 -> This correctly defines GNPMP as it focuses on production by 'normal residents of India' regardless of location, measured at market prices annually.
Option 3 -> This describes National Income or factor income approach, focusing on domestic territory rather than residents' production.
Option 4 -> This incorrectly defines production 'within domestic territory' (GDP concept) and mentions monthly measurement instead of annual.
Hence, Option 2 -> GNPMP is defined as the market value of all final goods and services produced by the normal residents of a country, irrespective of whether the production takes place within or outside the domestic territory. The key distinction is 'by normal residents' (GNP) versus 'within territory' (GDP). It includes Net Factor Income from Abroad (NFIA) and is measured at market prices (including indirect taxes minus subsidies) on an annual basis. -> correct
