GNP at factor cost is ₹2,500 crore. Indirect taxes are ₹300 crore and subsidies are ₹80 crore. What is GNP at market price?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: ₹2,720 crore
To convert GNP at factor cost into GNP at market price, add net indirect taxes. Net indirect taxes = indirect taxes − subsidies = ₹300 − ₹80 = ₹220 crore. Therefore, GNP at market price = ₹2,500 + ₹220 = ₹2,720 crore, making option C correct. Option D ignores the subsidy, while A subtracts the net tax and B makes no adjustment.
