The difference between the gross domestic product (GDP) and gross national product (GNP) is?
Depreciation
Transfer payment
Net income from abroad
Direct taxes
Correct answer is C
The most important distinguishing point between these two is that while we calculate GDP, we take into consideration whatever is produced within the local borders of the country and so it includes the goods and services produced by the foreign nationals also but if we talk about GNP, only the production done by the country’s citizens is considered whether they are inside or outside the country and the contribution of foreign citizens are completely excluded.
Net income from abroad is income earned by any person {including Artificial} i.e citizen of that country, earned even outside political boundaries i.e land + 20 nautical miles of water. This is GNP. Income earned by anyone {including foreign citizen} within the country is GDP.

Low marginal productivity
Correct answer is C
Factors that can shift the demand curve for labour include: a change in the quantity demanded of the product that the labour produces; a change in the production process that uses more or less labour; and a change in government policy that affects the quantity of labour that firms wish to hire at a given wage. When the payment for labour is low, fills will be willing to employ more people than with an increased wage rate.
