If a country's gross domestic product (GDP) exceeds its gross national product (GNP), which of the following must be true?

Tap an answer. The explanation will appear here, including why each wrong option is wrong.

Not quite. D is correct.

GNP equals GDP plus net factor payments from abroad. If GDP is greater than GNP, factor payments to foreign residents must exceed factor receipts from abroad.

A: why it's wrongA budget deficit reflects fiscal policy (tax revenues versus government spending) and is not mathematically linked to the difference between GDP and GNP.

B: why it's wrongA trade surplus concerns net exports of goods and services, whereas the gap between GDP and GNP depends on international factor income flows.

Tap any option to see why it's right or wrong.

Not quite. D is correct.

GNP equals GDP plus net factor payments from abroad. If GDP is greater than GNP, factor payments to foreign residents must exceed factor receipts from abroad.

A: why it's wrongA budget deficit reflects fiscal policy (tax revenues versus government spending) and is not mathematically linked to the difference between GDP and GNP.

C: why it's wrongTrade balance reflects exports minus imports, not cross-border factor income payments.

Not quite. D is correct.

GNP equals GDP plus net factor payments from abroad. If GDP is greater than GNP, factor payments to foreign residents must exceed factor receipts from abroad.

A: why it's wrongA budget deficit reflects fiscal policy (tax revenues versus government spending) and is not mathematically linked to the difference between GDP and GNP.

D: why it's wrongGNP equals GDP plus net factor income from abroad; when GDP exceeds GNP, net factor income from abroad is negative, meaning payments to foreign factors exceed receipts from abroad.

Tap any option to see why it's right or wrong.

Not quite. D is correct.

GNP equals GDP plus net factor payments from abroad. If GDP is greater than GNP, factor payments to foreign residents must exceed factor receipts from abroad.

3 · Recall · Easy · Gross Domestic Product Accounting

Under which condition will the change in business inventories be negative during a given period?

Tap an answer. The explanation will appear here, including why each wrong option is wrong.

Not quite. B is correct.

The change in inventory equals production minus sales. If sales exceed production, firms draw from their existing stock, causing inventory investment to be negative.

A: why it's wrongWhen production exceeds sales, unsold goods accumulate, resulting in an increase (positive change) in business inventories.

B: why it's wrongWhen firms sell more than they produce during a period, they must draw down their existing stocks, leading to a negative change in inventories.
