ii. Income method:
$NDP _{ FC }=$ Compensation of employees(Wages and salaries + Social Security contribution by employers) + Operating surplus [Rent + Royalty + Interest + Profit (Profit after corporation tax + Corporation tax) ] + Mixed income

Gross National Product at Market Price:
$GNP _{ MP }= NDP _{ FC }+$ Net factor income to abroad + Net indirect tax + Depreciation
