The economic term abbreviated GNP described as 'the value of all the goods and services produced in an economy, plus the value of the goods and services imported, less the goods and services exported'.

• A. Gross Domestic Product
• B. Net National Income
• C. Gross National Product
• D. Gross Output

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is how Gross National Product differs from other measures by focusing on production tied to a country’s residents, not just what happens inside its borders. Gross National Product counts the value of all final goods and services produced by the country’s residents in a given period, wherever that production occurs. In practice this means adding any income residents earn abroad and subtracting income foreigners earn domestically; equivalently, GNP = GDP + net factor income from abroad. So, when you see a description that aims to incorporate production by nationals across borders and adjust for cross-border economic activity, Gross National Product is the term that fits best. The other options don’t match this idea: GDP counts activity within borders only; Net National Income is a different income/cost measure; Gross Output is about total production/sales without netting to residents or foreign factors.
