Available data for computation

Consumption 350 billion G


Transfer payments 100 billion G
Investment 100 billion G
Government purchases 200 billion G
Exports 50 billion G
Imports 150 billion G
Bond purchases 200 billion G
Earnings on foreign investments 75 billion G
Foreign earnings on Amagre investment 25 billion G

1. Compute net foreign investment

Net foreign investment = Bond Purchases +Earnings on foreign investments - Foreign earnings
on Amagre investment

= 200 + 75 - 25
= 250 billion G

2. Compute net exports.

Net exports = Exports - Imports

= 50 - 150
= -100 billion G

3. Compute GDP.

GDP = Consumption + Government purchases + Investment + Net exports

= 350 + 200 + 100 - 100


= 550 billion G

4. Compute GNP.

GNP = GDP + Net factor earnings from abroad

= 550 + (75 - 25)


= 600 billion G

I got all my answers using formulas created to calculate each variable I wanted from the data I
was given.
