The nominal GNP is the value of all the production valued at this year's prices. Real GNP is valued at prices of a base year. Thus, if an economy produces in year 1 2 oranges and 3 apples, at prices 5 and 6 respectively and in year 2, 4 oranges and 6 apples, at prices 9 and 8, then:

nominal GDP year 1=2*5+3*6=28nominal GDP year 2= 4*9+6*8=84

Notice that you can not compare production between two years because prices increased. It is not correct to state that production multiply by 3. So you should compute real GNP at prices of year 1

Real GDP year 1 (at prices of year 1) = 28 (same as before)

Real GDP year 2 (at prices of year 1) = 4*5+6*6=56

Why adjust GNP for price change?

Adjusting Gross National Product (GNP) for price changes is essential to accurately reflect the real economic performance over time. This adjustment, often done using inflation rates, helps distinguish between nominal growth (which may be due to rising prices) and real growth (which indicates an actual increase in goods and services produced). Without this adjustment, policymakers and economists might misinterpret economic health, leading to misguided decisions. Real GNP provides a clearer picture of an economy's true productivity and living standards.
