01 If a firm's sales are 620 lakh rupees and its inventories increase by 80 lakh rupees, what is the value of output?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 700 lakh rupees
Explanation: The value of output includes both goods sold and the change in inventories. The formula is value of output = sales + change in inventories. Therefore, value of output = 620 + 80 = 700 lakh rupees. The increase in inventories represents current production that has not yet been sold.
