Suppose that there are only two small countries in the world: Ascot, with a population of 29,400 people, and Delwich, with a population of 21,000 people. Ascot's GDP is equal to $150 million while Delwich's GDP is $210 million. Delwich's GNP has been estimated to be equal to $240 million. The revenue earned by firms that operate in Delwich but are headquartered in Ascot is equal to $60 million.
Given the data above, Ascot's GNP is $___ million. (Enter your response as an integer.)
In Ascot, the per capita GDP is $___. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest dollar.)
In Delwich, the per capita GNP is $___. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest dollar.)
GDP is Gross Domestic Product and it is the value of all goods and services produced within the domestic boundary of a country within a particular year. GNP, on the other hand, is Gross National Product and is the value of all goods and services produced by the residents of a country within a particular year. Now, the goods and services produced by the residents of a country can either be in the same country or in a different country also.
Gross National Product is calculated by:
Gross National Product (GNP) = Gross Domestic Product (GDP) + Net Factor Income from Abroad.
Now, given the data above, Ascot's GNP is = Ascot's GDP + Net Factor Income from Abroad
= $150 million + $60 million
= $210 million.
In Ascot, the per capita GDP is = Ascot's GDP/Total Population of Ascot
= $ 150M/29,400
= $ 150000000 / 29400
= $ 5,102 (rounded to the nearest dollar)
In Delwich, the per capita GNP is = Delwich's GNP/Total Population of Delwich
= $ 240M/ 21,000
= $ 240000000 / 21000
= $ 11,429 (rounded to the nearest dollar)
