No. GDP is an acronym which stands for Gross Domestic Product. This value is the total salary of a country as a whole. The per capita income is the average salary of an individual in a country. Though Country B's GDP is twice that of Country A, without knowing the population size, any hypothesis regarding the per capita income is irrelevant.

The GDP of country A is $400,000. The GDP of country B is $800,000. Does this mean that the per capita output of country B is about twice that of country A? Explain.
