Citizens of the country of Heehaw produce hay and provide entertainment services (banjo playing). In one year they produced $15 million worth of hay, with $11 million consumed domestically and the other $4 million sold to neighboring countries

They provided $7 million worth of banjo-playing services, $5 million in Heehaw, and $2 million in neighboring countries. They purchased $6 million worth of soda pop from neighboring countries. Calculate the magnitudes of GNP, GDP, net factor payments from abroad, net exports, and the current account balance.

GNP is output by citizens, which equals $15 million + $7 million = $22 million. GDP is output produced in the country, which equals $15 million (hay) + $5 million (domestic banjo playing) = $20 million. Net factor payments from abroad represent the difference between GNP and GDP; this is the $2 million paid for banjo playing in other countries. Net exports are $4 million (hay sold abroad) minus $6 million (soda pop imports) = -$2 million. (Note that banjo playing abroad is not part of GDP, so it is not part of net exports either.) The current account balance is net exports + net factor payments = -$2 million + $2 million = 0.
