Use the following information to calculate the gross national income (GNI) for a hypothetical country
called Zanadu:
Gross domestic product: R100 million
Final consumption expenditure by households: R60 million
Wages earned in Zanadu by its permanent residents: R40 million
Dividends paid to shareholders in other countries: R12 million
Wages paid to factory workers from Ghana: R15 million
Wages earned by Zanadu permanent residents working in London: R13 million
Profits earned for building a dam in Zambia by a firm from Zanadu: R2 million
Interest received from foreign banks by permanent residents of Zanadu: R8 million
R 96 million
Answer Key:96
Feedback:
GNI = GDP plus primary income from the rest of the world minus primary income to the rest of the
world.
In this example primary income from the rest of the world = wages earned by Zanadu permanent
residents working in London + profits earned for building a dam in Zambia + interest received from
foreign banks = R13 million + R2 million + R8 million = R23 million.
Primary income to the rest of the world = dividends paid to shareholders in other countries + wages
paid to factory workers from Ghana = R12 million + R15 million = R27 million. GNI = R100 million +
R23 million – R27 million = R96 million.
Note that final consumption expenditure by households and wages earned by permanent residents in
Zanadu are included in GDP and are not part of primary income.
