One of the main indicators characterizing the economic activity of the company is the gross national product (GNP).This is the total value of the total volume of goods and services that were produced in the country for a certain period of time.Usually this period is one calendar year.GNP - is the main measure of economic activity and economic activity in the country.
The term "gross" means that we have in mind the whole aggregate products produced during the year of the national economy.
Nominal GNP - is the value of goods and services produced in the economy in a given period, calculated in the prices thereof.
GDP calculated on the basis of market value, measured in monetary terms.GNP - is the macroeconomic financial measure;is considered to be a final product, namely, produced for final consumption during the year.This should be removed all the intermediate goods used for resale.The calculation of GDP is performed without taking into account all non-productive transactions not conducive to increasing the number of products.
measure GDP in three ways:
1) by end-use, that is, apart from the cost of buying the entire volume of output for the year;
2) the distribution method, that is, calculating revenues derived from production in the current year;
3) the production method, that is, summing up the added value produced in all branches of the national economy.
first method is characterized by the fact that the calculation of GNP expenditure is conducted, ie,summarize the cost of all economic entities on investment, consumption, government purchases, and net exports.
costs of investments - is the cost of machinery, equipment, buildings, facilities, material and technical supplies.
Investments may be gross, including all those that are going to replace equipment that is out of the production process and clean, which are used to purchase new equipment.
The costs include consumption of the household expenditure on different types of services and goods.
The distribution method is that GNP is the sum of all income received by households, businesses and government agencies.
income is taken into account four components: 1) wages;2) rent;3) interest on deposits and loans;4) income received by owners of individual farms and cooperatives and profits obtained by corporations, which is divided on dividends and interest, going to expand production.
sum of all income - a net national income.If we add to it depreciation, we get GDP.In other words, GNP - is net national income plus depreciation.
With value-added method revealed the involvement of industry in the production of gross domestic product.In this case, the fold value written in each production stage in the manufacture of the product.Value added includes profits, wages, interest on loans, depreciation, travel expenses, advertising costs.
Russia's GDP in 2011, the rate per capita in dollar terms amounted to 10 400. For this indicator, the country was on the 68th place in the world.
Back in 1993, in line with the recommendations of the United Nations, the GNP has been replaced by gross national income (GNI).Since then, the term "GNP" in statistical practice is not used, and there is for the most part only in economics textbooks.However, the national statistical offices of some countries adhere to the old terminology.
