Question 1MediumLevel 7
If NDP at factor cost is ₹980 crore and net indirect taxes are ₹65 crore, what is NDP at market price?
Correct answer: C
When converting an aggregate from factor cost to market price, add net indirect taxes. Thus, NDP at Market Price = NDP at Factor Cost + Net Indirect Taxes = ₹980 crore + ₹65 crore = ₹1,045 crore. Therefore, option C is correct. Option A subtracts the tax and represents the reverse direction, while options B and D do not result from the given values.
If indirect taxes are ₹130 crore and subsidies are ₹45 crore, what are net indirect taxes?
Correct answer: B
Net indirect taxes are calculated by subtracting subsidies from indirect taxes: Net Indirect Taxes = Indirect Taxes − Subsidies. Therefore, ₹130 crore − ₹45 crore = ₹85 crore. Option B is correct. ₹130 crore is only the gross indirect-tax amount, while ₹175 crore would result from incorrectly adding taxes and subsidies. ₹75 crore reflects an incorrect subtraction and is not the required net value.
If indirect taxes are ₹48 crore and subsidies are ₹72 crore, what is the value of net indirect taxes?
Correct answer: B
Use the formula Net Indirect Taxes = Indirect Taxes − Subsidies. Therefore, net indirect taxes = ₹48 crore − ₹72 crore = −₹24 crore. Option B is correct. The negative sign is meaningful: subsidies exceed indirect taxes by ₹24 crore, causing market price to be below factor cost by that amount. ₹120 crore incorrectly adds the two figures.
If the difference between market price and factor cost is ₹110 crore, what does this difference equal?
Correct answer: C
The accounting relationship is Market Price − Factor Cost = Net Indirect Taxes. Net indirect taxes are indirect taxes minus subsidies, and they explain the adjustment between the price paid in the market and the factor payments received by producers. Therefore, a difference of ₹110 crore equals net indirect taxes, making option C correct. Depreciation, foreign factor income, and net exports belong to different national-income adjustments.
If market price is lower than factor cost, which situation is possible?
Correct answer: B
The difference is given by Market Price − Factor Cost = Indirect Taxes − Subsidies. If market price is lower, the left side is negative, so net indirect taxes must also be negative. This occurs when subsidies exceed indirect taxes. Hence option B is correct. If taxes exceed subsidies, market price is higher; if both are zero, the two values are equal. Direct taxes do not determine this specific conversion.
The factor cost of a good is ₹400. It has an indirect tax of ₹60 and a subsidy of ₹15. What is its market price?
Correct answer: C
The governing relation is Market Price = Factor Cost + Net Indirect Taxes, where Net Indirect Taxes = Indirect Taxes − Subsidies. Thus, net indirect taxes = ₹60 − ₹15 = ₹45. Therefore, market price = ₹400 + ₹45 = ₹445, so option C is correct. ₹400 ignores taxes, ₹355 subtracts the net tax, and ₹475 incorrectly adds the subsidy.
The market price of a service is ₹720 and net indirect tax is ₹55. What is its factor cost?
Correct answer: B
The governing conversion formula is Factor Cost = Market Price − Net Indirect Taxes, because market price includes the net effect of indirect taxes over factor payments. Substituting the values gives ₹720 − ₹55 = ₹665. Hence option B is correct. ₹720 is the given market price, while ₹775 results from adding the tax instead of subtracting it; ₹610 uses an incorrect deduction.
How does a government subsidy generally affect the gap between market price and factor cost?
Correct answer: B
The difference between market price and factor cost equals net indirect taxes: indirect taxes minus subsidies. When a subsidy rises while other factors remain unchanged, net indirect taxes fall. Consequently, the gap between market price and factor cost generally becomes smaller. Thus option B is correct. The subsidy does not always double the gap, and saying it has no effect ignores its direct role in reducing net indirect taxes.
If market price exceeds factor cost by ₹75 crore and indirect taxes are ₹120 crore, what are the subsidies?
Correct answer: B
The governing relationship is: Market Price − Factor Cost = Net Indirect Taxes, and Net Indirect Taxes = Indirect Taxes − Subsidies. Therefore, 75 = 120 − Subsidies, so Subsidies = 120 − 75 = ₹45 crore. Option A incorrectly subtracts the wrong quantities, while ₹75 crore is the net indirect tax, not the subsidy. Thus, option B is correct.
If market price is ₹1,320 crore and factor cost is ₹1,350 crore, what are the net indirect taxes?
Correct answer: B
Net indirect taxes are calculated as Market Price − Factor Cost. Thus, Net Indirect Taxes = ₹1,320 crore − ₹1,350 crore = −₹30 crore. The negative sign is economically meaningful: subsidies exceed indirect taxes by ₹30 crore. Option A gives the correct magnitude but misses the sign, whereas options C and D use an incorrect difference. Therefore, option B is correct.
If market price is ₹560 crore and net indirect taxes are negative ₹40 crore, what is the factor cost?
Correct answer: D
The governing identity is Market Price = Factor Cost + Net Indirect Taxes. Rearranging gives Factor Cost = Market Price − Net Indirect Taxes. Substituting the values: Factor Cost = 560 − (−40) = 560 + 40 = ₹600 crore. A negative net tax means subsidies exceed indirect taxes; therefore, option B incorrectly subtracts 40 instead of subtracting a negative number. Option D is correct.
Why is a direct tax not added in the conversion between market price and factor cost?
Correct answer: A
The conversion between market price and factor cost uses net indirect taxes because indirect taxes and subsidies affect the prices of goods and services. A direct tax is levied on personal income, company income or property after income is earned; it does not enter the selling price of the product. It is therefore neither a factor payment nor a subsidy, and it is not limited to foreign countries. Option A is correct.
If subsidies exceed indirect taxes by ₹55 crore, by how much will market price be lower than factor cost?
Correct answer: A
When subsidies exceed indirect taxes by ₹55 crore, net indirect taxes equal −₹55 crore because Net Indirect Taxes = Indirect Taxes − Subsidies. Since Market Price = Factor Cost + Net Indirect Taxes, the negative amount makes market price ₹55 crore lower than factor cost. Option D reverses the relationship, while options B and C have no basis in the stated difference. Thus, option A is correct.
GNP at factor cost is ₹3,200 crore. Indirect taxes are ₹280 crore and subsidies are ₹60 crore. What is GNP at market price?
Correct answer: C
The governing relationship is GNP at market price = GNP at factor cost + net indirect taxes. Net indirect taxes equal indirect taxes minus subsidies: ₹280 − ₹60 = ₹220 crore. Hence, GNP at market price = ₹3,200 + ₹220 = ₹3,420 crore, so option C is correct. Option D incorrectly adds subsidies, while options A and B do not apply the proper adjustment.
The market price of a good is ₹525. It has an indirect tax of ₹75 and a subsidy of ₹20. What is its factor cost?
Correct answer: C
To convert market price into factor cost, subtract net indirect taxes. The formula is factor cost = market price − indirect taxes + subsidies. Thus, factor cost = ₹525 − ₹75 + ₹20 = ₹470. Therefore, option C is correct. ₹450 results from forgetting to add back the subsidy, while ₹430 and ₹580 use incorrect adjustments or signs.
If output at market price is ₹1,100 crore and net indirect taxes are negative ₹35 crore, what is output at factor cost?
Correct answer: D
The governing formula is output at factor cost = output at market price − net indirect taxes. Since net indirect taxes are negative ₹35 crore, the calculation is ₹1,100 − (−₹35) = ₹1,135 crore. Subtracting a negative amount increases the result. Therefore, option D is correct; ₹1,065 would incorrectly treat the negative tax as positive.
If output at factor cost is ₹940 crore and net indirect taxes are negative ₹25 crore, what is the market price?
Correct answer: A
The relationship is market price = factor cost + net indirect taxes. Here, factor-cost output is ₹940 crore and net indirect taxes are −₹25 crore. Therefore, market price = ₹940 + (−₹25) = ₹915 crore. Option A is correct. A positive ₹25 adjustment would produce ₹965 crore, but the question clearly states that net indirect taxes are negative.
If indirect taxes increase by ₹18 crore and subsidies increase by ₹6 crore, what is the change in net indirect taxes?
Correct answer: A
Net indirect taxes are calculated as indirect taxes minus subsidies. The change in them is therefore change in taxes minus change in subsidies: ₹18 crore − ₹6 crore = ₹12 crore. Net indirect taxes consequently increase by ₹12 crore, so option A is correct. Adding both changes would give ₹24 crore, but that ignores the opposite effect of subsidies.
If indirect taxes decrease by ₹15 crore and subsidies decrease by ₹9 crore, what is the change in net indirect taxes?
Correct answer: B
Since net indirect taxes = indirect taxes − subsidies, their change equals −₹15 crore − (−₹9 crore). This gives −₹6 crore, meaning a decrease of ₹6 crore. Option B is correct. The decrease in subsidies partly offsets the tax decrease because a smaller amount is being subtracted. Treating both falls as reductions would incorrectly give ₹24 crore.
If both indirect taxes and subsidies increase by ₹25 crore, what happens to the gap between market price and factor cost?
Correct answer: C
The gap between market price and factor cost equals net indirect taxes, which are indirect taxes minus subsidies. If both taxes and subsidies rise equally by ₹25 crore, the change in the gap is +₹25 − +₹25 = zero. Thus, the gap remains unchanged and option C is correct. It would change only if the two components changed by unequal amounts.
GDP at market price is constant and net indirect taxes decrease. What happens to GDP at factor cost?
Correct answer: A
GDP at factor cost is obtained by subtracting net indirect taxes from GDP at market price: GDPFC = GDPMP − NIT. When GDP at market price remains constant and NIT decreases, a smaller amount is subtracted. Therefore, GDP at factor cost increases, making option A correct. It does not remain unchanged because the deduction has changed.
Output at factor cost is constant and net indirect taxes increase. What happens to output at market price?
Correct answer: B
The governing relationship is output at market price = output at factor cost + net indirect taxes. Factor-cost output is constant, so an increase in net indirect taxes raises the market-price measure by the same direction. Therefore, output at market price increases and option B is correct. It would remain unchanged only if net indirect taxes did not change.
If subsidies decrease while indirect taxes remain unchanged, what happens to the gap between market price and factor cost?
Correct answer: B
The gap between market price and factor cost equals net indirect taxes, calculated as indirect taxes minus subsidies. With indirect taxes unchanged, a decrease in subsidies makes the subtraction smaller, so net indirect taxes rise. Consequently, the gap widens and option B is correct. It would remain unchanged only if subsidies also remained unchanged or another change exactly offset this effect.
If indirect taxes decrease while subsidies remain unchanged, what will happen?
Correct answer: B
Net indirect taxes are calculated as indirect taxes minus subsidies. When indirect taxes fall and subsidies remain unchanged, net indirect taxes decrease. Since market price equals factor cost plus net indirect taxes, the difference between market price and factor cost becomes smaller. Option A reverses the effect, while C is not necessarily true and D has no logical basis.
Net indirect taxes (NIT) are the difference between market price and factor cost: NIT = indirect taxes − subsidies. Therefore, to convert the same aggregate from market price to factor cost, subtract NIT: GNPFC = GNPMP − NIT. Option A uses the wrong direction, C reverses the conversion, and D changes GNP into GDP without justification.
