Lillianna Howell · Answer 1

The correct answer is option a and option b.

Explanation:

The opening of a new American-owned factory in Algeria would tend to increase Algeria's GDP more than it increases Algeria's GNP.

This is because the GDP of a nation is the value of final goods and services produced in an economy in a year by both domestic citizens as well as foreign residents.

While GNP of a nation does not include the income earned by the foreign residents within the boundaries of a nation. So it is lower than GDP.
