Solution

The correct option is A ₹1400
At each stage of sale of the machine , there is an Inter-state transaction. So, the rate of GST on each transaction of machine is 28%.
For the Manufacturer :
MP = ₹50000 and discount = 20% of ₹50000.
Discount = 20100×50000 = ₹10000
SP = MP - Discount
= ₹50000 - ₹10000 = ₹40000

For the Wholesaler :
CP = ₹40000
Discount = 10% of ₹50000 = 10100×50000 = ₹5000
SP = MP - Discount = ₹50000 - ₹5000 = ₹45000

Tax paid by the wholesaler to the Central Government = Output Tax - Input tax
= Tax on SP - Tax on CP
= 28% of ₹45000 - 28% of ₹40000
= 28% of ₹5000
= 28100×5000 = ₹1400
