If market price is ₹640 crore, factor cost is ₹600 crore, and subsidies are ₹15 crore, what are indirect taxes?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: ₹55 crore
The governing relation is Market Price = Factor Cost + Net Indirect Taxes, where Net Indirect Taxes = Indirect Taxes − Subsidies. Thus, net indirect taxes = 640 − 600 = ₹40 crore. Therefore, indirect taxes = 40 + 15 = ₹55 crore. Option B is only the net amount, while options A and D do not satisfy the formula.
