Question
Write a short note on Net National Product $(NNP).$

Answer

  • Introduction :
  • During the year we make use of machines, equipments, building etc. assets for gross national product ($GNP$).
  • With the passage of time there is reduction in its value.
  • The reduction in these assets value is Depreciation.
  • When we deduct Depreciation from $GNP$ we get national income at factor cost.
  • Meaning of $NNP$ :
  • After deducting the depreciation of the factors of production employed in the process of production, the total market value of all final goods and service left within the country is called $NNP$.
  • In other words, the remaining monetary value after deducting depreciation from the monetary value of goods and services produced by citizens of country is called $NNP$.
  • Formula : $NNP$ = $GNP$ - $D$
  • $($Net National Product$) = ($Gross National Product$) - ($Depreciation$)$
  • Example :
  • Suppose the market value of gross national product is $t$ $5,000$ crore. Capital goods used for the production is depreciated by $500$ Crore. Then $NNP$ is $5000 - 500 = 4500$ Crore.
  • Important Points :
  • $NNP$ is the value obtained by deducting depreciation of factor used in process of production.
  • $NNP  = GNP - $ Depreciation
  • It is difficult to find $NNP$ of any country because the depreciation of factors has to be deducted from it.
  • And depreciation depends upon the price of capital goods and expected life of capital goods.
  • It is difficult to know these things.
  • In the same way, h is difficult to know what amount will be necessary to buy new machine in future.
  • If there is recession, the price of the machine might be less.
  • Some times to sustain in the market competition, machine has to be replaced.
