To solve the given questions, we need to apply the relevant economic formulas for net foreign investment, net exports, GDP, and GNP.

  1. Compute Net Foreign Investment:

    Net foreign investment is calculated as the difference between earnings on foreign investments and foreign earnings on domestic investments.

    \[ \text{Net Foreign Investment} = \text{Earnings on Foreign Investments} - \text{Foreign Earnings on Domestic Investments} \]

    \[ \text{Net Foreign Investment} = 75 \, \text{billion G} - 25 \, \text{billion G} = 50 \, \text{billion G} \]

  2. Compute Net Exports:

    Net exports are calculated as the difference between exports and imports.

    \[ \text{Net Exports} = \text{Exports} - \text{Imports} \]

    \[ \text{Net Exports} = 50 \, \text{billion G} - 150 \, \text{billion G} = -100 \, \text{billion G} \]

  3. Compute GDP:

    GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is calculated using the expenditure approach, which sums consumption, investment, government purchases, and net exports.

    \[ \text{GDP} = \text{Consumption} + \text{Investment} + \text{Government Purchases} + \text{Net Exports} \]

    \[ \text{GDP} = 350 \, \text{billion G} + 100 \, \text{billion G} + 200 \, \text{billion G} + (-100 \, \text{billion G}) = 550 \, \text{billion G} \]

In summary:

  1. Net Foreign Investment is 50 billion G.
  2. Net Exports are -100 billion G.
  3. GDP is 550 billion G.
