Question 1EasyLevel 3
If GDP at market price is 5000 and net indirect taxes are 400, what is GDP at factor cost?
Correct answer: A
To move from GDP at market price to GDP at factor cost, subtract net indirect taxes because market price includes the net tax component. Thus, GDP at factor cost = GDP at market price − NIT = 5000 − 400 = 4600. The other values result from adding the tax, making no adjustment, or reporting the tax alone rather than the converted GDP measure.
If GDP at factor cost (GDP₍FC₎) is 780 and net indirect taxes are 120, what is GDP at market prices (GDP₍MP₎)?
Correct answer: C
The relationship is GDP at market prices = GDP at factor cost + net indirect taxes. Net indirect taxes equal indirect taxes minus subsidies, and they are added because market prices include the net effect of such taxes. Therefore, GDP₍MP₎ = 780 + 120 = 900. Hence option C is the only correct numerical answer.
What is the effect of indirect taxes in GDP at market price?
Correct answer: A
Market price is the price paid by purchasers, while factor cost reflects payments to factors of production. Indirect taxes create a wedge between the two and generally raise market price above factor cost. The precise adjustment is GDP at market price = GDP at factor cost + indirect taxes − subsidies, so the effect depends on net indirect taxes.
If subsidies exceed indirect taxes, what will net indirect taxes be?
Correct answer: B
Net indirect taxes are defined as indirect taxes minus subsidies. When subsidies are larger than indirect taxes, the subtraction produces a negative value. This negative net indirect tax means that subsidies exceed the tax burden; consequently, when converting from market price to factor cost, subtracting NIT increases the factor-cost value.
Which item creates the difference between market price and factor cost?
Correct answer: B
The difference between market price and factor cost is created by net indirect taxes. The formula is Market Price = Factor Cost + Net Indirect Taxes, where net indirect taxes equal indirect taxes minus subsidies. Depreciation changes gross and net aggregates, while NFIA changes domestic and national measures. Therefore, option B is correct.
Which is the correct formula to obtain NDP at factor cost from NDP at market price?
Correct answer: C
To convert an aggregate from market price to factor cost, net indirect taxes must be subtracted because market price includes their effect. Thus, NDP at factor cost = NDP at market price − net indirect taxes. Depreciation is used to move between gross and net measures, and NFIA is used to move between domestic and national measures. Hence, option C is correct.
If NDP at factor cost is 760 crore rupees and net indirect taxes are 40 crore rupees, what is NDP at market price?
Correct answer: A
When moving from factor cost to market price, net indirect taxes are added because market prices include taxes after adjusting for subsidies. The formula is NDP at market price = NDP at factor cost + net indirect taxes. Therefore, 760 + 40 = 800 crore rupees. Hence, option A is correct.
If indirect taxes and subsidies are equal, what will net indirect taxes be?
Correct answer: C
Net indirect taxes equal indirect taxes minus subsidies. If both amounts are equal, their difference is zero. Consequently, the adjustment between market price and factor cost due to net indirect taxes is zero, so the two valuations would be equal in this respect. Therefore, option C, zero, is correct.
If NDP at market price is 1250 crore rupees and net indirect taxes are 90 crore rupees then what is NDP at factor cost?
Correct answer: A
The governing formula is NDP at factor cost = NDP at market price − net indirect taxes. Substituting the values gives 1250 − 90 = 1160 crore rupees. Therefore, option A is correct. Option B adds the tax instead of deducting it, option C ignores the tax adjustment, and option D subtracts an incorrect amount of 180 crore rupees.
If NDP at factor cost is 1420 crore rupees and net indirect taxes are 80 crore rupees then what is NDP at market price?
Correct answer: B
The correct conversion is NDP at market price = NDP at factor cost + net indirect taxes. Therefore, NDP at market price = 1420 + 80 = 1500 crore rupees. Option B is correct. Option A subtracts the tax, option C ignores the tax adjustment, and option D adds an incorrect amount of 160 crore rupees. The calculation uses the market-price premium created by net indirect taxes.
A firm's net value added at market price is ₹700 lakh and product taxes minus product subsidies are ₹80 lakh. What is its net value added at factor cost?
Correct answer: A
To convert a net value-added measure from market price to factor cost, subtract net product taxes, defined here as product taxes minus product subsidies. Thus, NVA at factor cost = NVA at market price − net product taxes = ₹700 lakh − ₹80 lakh = ₹620 lakh. The adjustment removes the portion of market value arising from taxes rather than payments to factors of production.
Market price is the price actually paid by the purchaser for a good or service in the market. In national-income accounting, it includes the effect of indirect taxes and subsidies, so it can differ from factor cost. Therefore option A is correct. A producer’s wage is only one factor payment, a government-administered price is not the general definition, and quantity is a physical measure rather than a price.
Factor cost is the total remuneration paid to the factors of production for their services. It includes wages for labour, rent for land, interest for capital and profit for entrepreneurship. Option A is therefore correct. The consumer’s final payment is market price, while an indirect tax or import price is only one component or a different concept, not the complete reward to production factors.
What is the main reason for the difference between market price and factor cost?
Correct answer: B
The difference between market price and factor cost is created by net indirect taxes. Net indirect taxes are calculated as indirect taxes minus subsidies, so MP = FC + NIT and FC = MP − NIT. Hence option B is correct. Direct taxes, depreciation and net factor income from abroad affect other national-income relationships, but they do not explain this specific price-cost difference.
What is done to move from factor cost to market price?
Correct answer: A
To convert factor cost into market price, add net indirect taxes because the market price includes indirect taxes after allowing for subsidies. The formula is MP = FC + NIT. Therefore option A is correct. Depreciation changes gross and net aggregates, net factor income changes domestic and national measures, and direct taxes are not the adjustment used in this conversion.
What is done to move from market price to factor cost?
Correct answer: B
The governing identity is MP = FC + NIT. Rearranging it gives FC = MP − NIT, so net indirect taxes must be subtracted when moving from market price to factor cost. Option B is correct. Depreciation concerns gross versus net measures, exports belong to expenditure calculations, and adding both taxes and subsidies would not correctly calculate the net adjustment.
If indirect taxes are ₹500 crore and subsidies are ₹100 crore, what will be net indirect taxes?
Correct answer: B
Net indirect taxes are found by subtracting subsidies from indirect taxes: NIT = indirect taxes − subsidies = ₹500 crore − ₹100 crore = ₹400 crore. Therefore option B is correct. ₹500 crore is the gross indirect-tax amount, not the net amount. Adding the two figures would incorrectly treat a subsidy as an additional tax instead of an offset.
If domestic product at market price is ₹7,000 crore and net indirect taxes are ₹500 crore, what will be the domestic product at factor cost?
Correct answer: B
The governing relationship is: Domestic Product at Factor Cost = Domestic Product at Market Price − Net Indirect Taxes. Substituting the given values gives ₹7,000 crore − ₹500 crore = ₹6,500 crore. Therefore, option B is correct. Option A subtracts too much, while options C and D fail to deduct the tax component required for conversion from market price to factor cost.
If domestic product at factor cost is ₹6,800 crore and net indirect taxes are ₹300 crore, what will be the domestic product at market price?
Correct answer: C
The governing formula is: Domestic Product at Market Price = Domestic Product at Factor Cost + Net Indirect Taxes. Thus, ₹6,800 crore + ₹300 crore = ₹7,100 crore. Option C is correct because market price includes the net indirect tax component. Option A subtracts the tax, option B ignores it, and option D adds an incorrect amount.
How does an indirect tax generally affect market price?
Correct answer: A
An indirect tax is imposed on goods or services and is generally included in the price paid by the buyer. Therefore, it raises the market price relative to the price received for factor services, so option A is correct. Option B describes the usual effect of a subsidy, option C ignores the tax burden, and option D is unrelated to the market-price concept.
A subsidy is financial assistance that lowers the effective cost of production or reduces the amount that consumers need to pay. Consequently, it generally lowers the market price, making option B correct. In national-income accounting, subsidies are deducted from indirect taxes to obtain net indirect taxes. Options A and C state increases that are not generally implied, while D denies the relationship.
If indirect taxes and subsidies are equal, what will be the relationship between market price and factor cost?
Correct answer: C
Net indirect taxes are calculated as indirect taxes minus subsidies. If the two amounts are equal, net indirect taxes become zero. Since Market Price = Factor Cost + Net Indirect Taxes, the equation becomes Market Price = Factor Cost. Therefore, option C is correct. Options A and B would require positive or negative net indirect taxes, while D ignores the accounting identity.
If net indirect taxes are negative, which value will generally be higher?
Correct answer: B
Net indirect taxes equal indirect taxes minus subsidies. A negative value means subsidies exceed indirect taxes. Using Market Price = Factor Cost + Net Indirect Taxes, adding a negative amount makes market price lower than factor cost. Hence factor cost is generally higher, so option B is correct. Options C and D are unrelated, and A reverses the implication of a negative tax adjustment.
If market price is ₹1,200 and net indirect taxes are ₹200, what will be the factor cost?
Correct answer: B
The governing formula is Factor Cost = Market Price − Net Indirect Taxes. Substituting the values gives ₹1,200 − ₹200 = ₹1,000. Therefore, option B is correct. Option C merely repeats the market price, option D adds the tax instead of deducting it, and option A subtracts an incorrect amount. The unit remains rupees because no other unit is specified.
If factor cost is ₹900 and net indirect taxes are ₹150, what will be the market price?
Correct answer: C
The relevant identity is Market Price = Factor Cost + Net Indirect Taxes. Therefore, ₹900 + ₹150 = ₹1,050. Option C is correct because market price includes the net tax adjustment over factor cost. Option A subtracts the tax, option B leaves the tax unaccounted for, and option D adds ₹250 instead of the stated ₹150. The calculation uses the same monetary unit throughout.
